Iphigenie En Tauride

This is a masterwork, rarely performed and understood. 2014 marked 300 years since Gluck’s birth and we wanted to mark this occasion with a work by a composer who is only remembered for a couple of pieces.

Iphigénie en Tauride is Gluck's most dramatically involving work. It is about familial love and deep friendship, but the waters run deep, and noble aims of sacrifice, duty and protection are played out within the taut drama.
