Christoph Willibald Gluck\u2019s masterpiece \u201cIphigenia in Tauris\u201d is presented in a new production, an excellent cast of distinguished opera singers, under the direction of George Petrou. With Thanos Papaconstantinou\u2019s fresh perspective, the sets and costumes of Niki Psychogiou, the ancient myth will come to life on the Olympia stage through Gluck\u2019s intensely dramatic music, which eloquently captures the particular psyche of the drama characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An exotic location, a lost sister, a mad brother, human sacrifice, suspense, danger, and divine intervention: all the key features of a fascinating ancient Greek drama. Gluck\u2019s opera Iphigenia in Tauris, based on Euripides\u2019 tragedy of the same name, narrates the intersection and end of Iphigenia and Oreste\u2019s myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
