Gluck Iphigenie en Tauride (Paris version 1779) (Full Score, hardback)

Christoph Willibald Gluck‘s opera in four acts about the Curse of the House of Atreus is based on a tragedy by the classical Greek dramatist Euripides.  The mythological plot about the siblings Iphigenia and Orestes is characterised by hatred, ritual sacrifice, and murder and was especially popular during the 18th century.  The premiere of Gluck’s opera in 1779 was immensely successful.
