Gluck's siblings, each certain the other is dead, in a new staging by Lyndsey Turner.
Opera
At London Coliseum.
Iphigenia, believed sacrificed by her own father, is alive and serving as a priestess on Tauris, where the law obliges her to kill any Greek who lands. Two do. One is her brother Orestes. Gluck wrote it in 1779 as an argument that opera could carry a Greek tragedy without ornament, and the score barely stops moving from the storm of the first bar.
Lyndsey Turner directs a new staging and David Bates conducts, with Christine Rice as Iphigénie, Jacques Imbrailo as Oreste and Nick Pritchard as Pylade. Sung in French with English surtitles, two hours twenty with one interval.
