Idomeneo is considered as the first of the seven uncontested masterworks of Mozart's dramatic oeuvre and it is perhaps even the most revolutionary and forward-looking of his work. In "Kasper Holten's coherent production" (Die Presse) Bernard Richter was "a cultivated bright tenor with beautiful expressive moments" (Kronen Zeitung). "Valentina Nafornit¸a performed the role of Ilia with passion and reached every height with ease and Irina Lungu portrayed Elettra as a great tragic figure and unfolded her soprano with verve in the final aria" (Kurier). Conductor Tomáš Netopil provided with the orchestra "gripping moments from the virtuoso overture onwards" (Kronen Zeitung)
