Gluck's Iphigenia in Aulis and Tauris: Theater an der Wien

Over het evenement

Experience the heightened emotion of war, sacrifice, a family curse, and a revelation about the seemingly inescapable nature of fate.

Based on Euripides' tragedies, Gluck's two operas -- composed in 1774 and 1779, respectively -- expose the most extreme consequences of our dangerous human frailty. Torsten Fischer's new version tells the shocking tale of Iphigenia in a single evening.
