IPHIGENIA in Aulide and Tauride (Fassung 2014)

IPHIGÉNIE en Aulide et Tauride (Fassung 2014)

War, the myth of sacrifice, the apparent inescapability of fate, the curse of a family and the utopia of overcoming this curse: Euripides' ancient tragedies, on which Gluck's operas Iphigénie en Aulide (1774) and Iphigénie en Tauride (1779) are based, reflect the most extreme dangers of our misconduct. The struggle against barbarism, the struggle for humanity within what appears to be a world that has been cursed, reside in these pieces. From his productions of both operas, Torsten Fischer developed an overall version that tells the fate of Iphigénie in one evening.

Diana prevents the departure of the Greek fleet under Agamemnon to Troy at the beginning of the Trojan War by causing a calm at Aulis. An oracle announces that Agamemnon must sacrifice his daughter Iphigénie to the goddess in order to continue the journey. Neither Achilles nor Iphigenie's mother, Klytemnestra, can prevent the execution. Iphigenie is raptured to Tauris by Diana to serve as a priestess there. Agamemnon is murdered by his wife Clytemnestra after returning from the war. Iphigenie's brother Orestes avenges his father's murder and kills his mother, Clytemnestra. In order to escape the persecution by the Erynnien, who want to avenge the matricide, Orestes is instructed by Apollo to bring a statue of Diana to Athens from Tauris. Orestes travels to Tauris with his friend Pylades, where the locals take both prisoners to sacrifice - like all strangers - to Diana. The Diana priestess who is supposed to perform the sacrifice is his sister Iphigenie, who Orestes does not recognize. Only during the sacrificial ceremony does a look into his eyes release the Atrid family from the long-lasting curse. The goddess Diana herself enables Iphigénie, Orestes and Pylades to flee to Greece from the Taurian king Thoas.
