“Great, immediately gripping theatre!” [TAZ] With a new cast, under the musical direction of Baroque specialist Konrad Junghänel, what must be Gluck’s most uncompromising work returns to the programme. Iphigenia, daughter of the warlike General Agamemnon, is obliged by custom to put to death any strange men who land on the island of Tauris. But when her own brother Orestes and his companion Pylades are condemned to this fate, she resolves that she will no longer obey the law...
Barrie Kosky has transferred Gluck’s opera into our immediate present, employing powerful strokes to create a piece of shocking, moving musical theatre. “Kosky’s analysis of the Greek myths portrays people governed by culture, power and religion thrust in situations where they are both helpless and hopeless.” [Klassik.com]
