Iphigenie Auf Tauris
SADLER'S WELLS, LONDON, Weds 27 Sun 31 October 2010
An Opera by Christoph Willibald Gluck
A Dance-opera by Pina Bausch
Text Nicolas Francois Guillard
German Version (Vienna 1781)
J.B.v. Alxinger and Ch.W.Gluck
First created in 1974 and very rarely performed, Iphigenie comes to London for the first time.
Regarded by many as Gluck’s masterpiece, Iphigenie fuses dance, music, chorus and solo arias into a dramatic whole. Gluck conceived the work as a Greek tragedy, dealing with the most profound and intense emotions.
Pina Bausch’s staging uses her full company to convey the drama of the opera, with the singers ranged at either side of the stage. The grandeur and purity of the score is conveyed through dance images of extraordinary beauty and power; this is Bausch’s choreography at its most harmonious and lyrical.
