Iphigénie en Tauride
- show
-
opera
An opera in four acts by Christoph Willibald Gluck, inspired by Euripides. This work captures Gluck's tragic ideal: the ancient story of the Atrides, exploring guilt and redemption, is portrayed through stripped-back lyrical art and striking emotional accuracy. The priestess Iphigenia must sacrifice two strangers but recognizes her brother Orestes just in time, leading to heartbreaking family reunions. Stage direction by Wajdi Mouawad is introduced by a new prologue that repositions the Greek myth and draws parallels with the present – Tauris is today’s Crimea. The baroque ensemble Le Consort performs on period instruments under the baton of Théotime Langlois de Swarte. The title role is sung by the young French-Algerian soprano Tamara Bounazou.
