Talk:Idomeneo

message: Can this be changed? The most innovative numbers in Idomeneo are not the arias at all, but the choruses, quintets, and so on. I'd be happy to do the change and put a couple of the more significant ones in myself, if everyone else agrees. Safebreaker (talk) 11:13, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nine years later - I agree! This should be changed to a list of major numbers, with a column classifying them as Aria, Duo, Quartet etc and Chorus. At least two of the choruses are both innovative, and well known because of it: Placido è il mar, and O voto tremendo! Brymor (talk) 20:05, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Could someone tell me what instruments Mozart used for this opera? And how many types of horns? In B flat, in G, in E??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.138.66 (talk) 16:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anyone provide an English translation of the title? Babelfish yields: Clay Idomeneo, king that is Ilia and Idamante, which is a pretty rough translation. — Loadmaster 16:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Plot

message: "The "Idomeneo" production, directed by Hans Neuenfels, shows King Idomeneo staggering on stage carrying the decapitated heads of Poseidon, Jesus, Buddha and Muhammad." - should we stress that these heads are there due to a CONTEMPORARY interpretation by controversial German director Hans Neuenfels, and is not part of the original Mozart's Idomeneo.

message: Can anyone enlighten me as to Wikipedia naming policy? I think we ought to decide whether we're going to use the English names (as is the case for "Electra") or the Italian ones (as is the case for "Idomeneo"), but not both. Safebreaker (talk) 14:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The 2006 controversy should have its own page.  It is a rather specialized topic, which probably has more to do with a particular staging than Mozart's opera.--345Kai 02:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: it does appear as a cheap publicity stunt of the director. He must have known he'd make headlines with this after all the cartoon madness, whatever happened to try getting attention by doing a great performance? Anyway, per Wikipedia:Recentism, detailed discussion of the incident either belongs on wikisource, or do a separate Deutsche Oper 2006 Idomeneo scandal article. dab (ᛏ) 09:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I think this goes here unless the controversy section begins to dominate the article.  An article on Macbeth would not be complete unless it included the superstissions associated with it.  Incedentally, I can't find any weasel words in the section.  Did someone mean to tag it for WP:NPOV or were they just changed and the template didn't get deleted? --Selket Talk 17:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Could we please lose the references to a single production, and free up some space which will hopefully (hee hee!) be filled with talk of the various versions of Idomeneo: the Munich, the Prague, and the Vienna (each of them quite different)! Safebreaker (talk) 20:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see a reason to not include it. It could perhaps be reduced in size, but I fail to see how the status quo precludes discussing the various stagings you mentioned. Carl.bunderson (talk) 03:29, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
