Opera: Iphigénie en Aulide & Iphigénie en Tauride

The Greek National Opera opens the 2024/25 season with an exceptional international co-production with the Aix-en-Provence Festival and Opéra national de Paris, redefining opera boundaries. The leading Russian director of our time, Dmitri Tcherniakov, will present Gluck’s two ancient-themed operas Iphigénie en Aulide and Iphigénie en Tauride, in a double bill.

The double-bill presentation of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s two operas aims to shed light on the core of the Atreides curse, which perpetuates a never-ending cycle of violence. How does the victim in Aulis become the executioner in Tauris? This is the earthshaking question posed by Dmitri Tcherniakov as he seeks to find the answers in a family hearth haunted by its dead, through a relentlessly evolving process of dehumanisation with modern-day implications.
