Iphigénie en Tauride
Viel Blut ist geflossen in der Familiengeschichte des Atridengeschlechts: Auf den Mord im Namen der Götter folgte Rache, auf Rache wieder Mord, auf Mord erneute Rache. Ein Kreislauf, aus dem es scheinbar kein Entrinnen gibt: Um die Göttin Diana auf dem Weg in den trojanischen Krieg günstig zu stimmen, opferte Agamemnon seine Tochter Iphigénie. Als er Jahre später nach Hause zurückkehrte, rächte Iphigénies Mutter, Klytämnestra, diese Tat, indem sie Agamemnon umbrachte. Orest, Iphigénies Bruder, wiederum rächte den Mord an seinem Vater, indem er die eigene Mutter tötete. Seitdem wird er von den Eumeniden, den Rachegöttern, gequält. Das Orakel von Delphi verspricht Orest Befreiung von seinen Qualen, wenn er die Statue der Diana aus Tauris nach Griechenland zurückholt. In Tauris lebt Iphigénie, die von Diana im letzten Moment vor ihrer Opferung gerettet wurde, als deren Priesterin. Thoas, König der barbarischen Skythen auf Tauris, zwingt Iphigénie, jeden Fremden, der sich der Halbinsel nähert, auf dem Altar der Diana zu opfern. Als sie auch Orest opfern soll, erkennt sie ihn als ihren Bruder und weigert sich, erneut zu töten. In den daraufhin ausbrechenden Kampf zwischen Griechen und Skythen greift die Göttin Diana ein und zeigt einen Ausweg aus dem blutigen Kreislauf: Sie befreit Orest von seiner Schuld und schickt die Geschwister zurück nach Mykene, wo sie gemeinsam die Herrschaft übernehmen sollen.

Gluck, der grosse Erneuerer, machte aus der statischen französischen Oper des 18. Jahrhunderts ein lebendiges Drama menschlicher Leidenschaften und setzte die inneren Konflikte der Figuren überwältigend in Szene. Intendant Andreas Homoki inszeniert, die musikalische Leitung des Orchestra La Scintilla hat Gianluca Capuano.

Iphigenie en Tauride
A lot of blood has spilled in the family history of the Atrid line: revenge followed murder in the name of the gods, revenge was followed by murder, murder was followed by renewed revenge. A cycle from which there seems to be no escape: in order to propitiate the goddess Diana on the way to the Trojan War, Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigénie. When he returned home years later, Iphigénie's mother, Clytemnestra, avenged this act by killing Agamemnon. Orestes, Iphigénie's brother, avenged his father's murder by killing his own mother. Since then he has been tormented by the Eumenides, the gods of vengeance. The oracle of Delphi promises Orestes relief from his torment if he brings back the statue of Diana from Tauris to Greece. Iphigenia lives in Tauris, who was rescued by Diana at the last moment before her sacrifice as her priestess. Thoas, king of the barbarian Scythians in Tauris, compels Iphigenia to sacrifice every stranger who approaches the peninsula on the altar of Diana. When she is about to sacrifice Orestes as well, she recognizes him as her brother and refuses to kill again. The goddess Diana intervenes in the fight that ensues between the Greeks and Scythians and shows a way out of the bloody cycle: she frees Orestes from his guilt and sends the siblings back to Mycenae, where they are to take over power together. she recognizes him as her brother and refuses to kill again. The goddess Diana intervenes in the fight that ensues between the Greeks and Scythians and shows a way out of the bloody cycle: she frees Orestes from his guilt and sends the siblings back to Mycenae, where they are to take over power together. she recognizes him as her brother and refuses to kill again. The goddess Diana intervenes in the fight that ensues between the Greeks and Scythians and shows a way out of the bloody cycle: she frees Orestes from his guilt and sends the siblings back to Mycenae, where they are to take over power together.

Gluck, the great innovator, turned the static 18th-century French opera into a lively drama of human passions, overwhelmingly staging the inner conflicts of the characters. Intendant Andreas Homoki is staging, the musical direction of the Orchestra La Scintilla is in the hands of Gianluca Capuano.
