San Francisco Opera: Iphigénie en Tauride
Saturday June 23, 2007 at 8:00pm
War Memorial Opera House
301 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco Bay Area, California 94102 Get Directions
Gluck’s final masterpiece balances the equation of music and drama, in an opera of serenely pure beauty that conveys the timeless power of myth.

THE SCENE
The Greek island of Tauris, following the Trojan War

THE STORY
Iphigénie is the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and the sister of Elektra and Orestes. Her troubling dream about her murderous family sets the story in motion. When King Thoas announces that the survivors of the latest shipwreck on the shores of Tauris must be sacrificed, she recognizes them as Orestes and his friend Pylades. Through the agency of the goddess Diana, Iphigénie, her brother, and the Greek people are ultimately saved.
