Gluck's Iphigenia in Tauris at the Canadian Opera Company


SEPT. 22 TO OCT. 15, 2011


With Iphigenia in Tauris, Gluck had the greatest triumph of his long career, composing ascore of refined, classical beauty that lays bare the searing emotions of this Greek tragedy. Facing imminent death at the hand of her own father, Iphigenia is rescued by the goddess Diana and transported to the island of Tauris. She is made a priestess and must sacrifice any stranger who appears on the island. In a tragic twist of fate, one of those victims is her long-lost brother, Orestes.
