ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Iphigénie en Aulide (Iphigeneia in Aulis) is an opera in three acts by Christoph Willibald Gluck, the first work he wrote for the Paris stage. The libretto was written by François-Louis Gand Le Bland Du Roullet and was based on Jean Racine’s tragedy Iphigénie, itself based on the play Iphigenia in Aulis by Euripides. It was premiered on 19 April 1774 by the Paris Opéra in the second Salle du Palais-Royal and revived in a slightly revised version the following year.
A German version was made in 1847 by Richard Wagner, with significant alterations.
Iphigénie en Tauride (German: Iphigenie auf Tauris ; GluckWV 1.48) is an opera (according to the score Tragédie ) in four acts by Christoph Willibald Gluck , which was premiered at the Paris Opéra in 1779. The libretto in French is by Nicolas François Guillard and is based on the tragedy Iphigénie en Tauride by Claude Guimond de La Touche , which in turn is based on the drama Iphigenie bei den Taurern ( Ancient Greek Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Ταύροις Iphigeneia en Taurois ) by the classical poet Euripides from 414/412 BC. The plot of the opera takes up material from Greek mythology and is set in the time after the end of the Trojan War . The focus is on the fate of Agamemnon’s children .
