IPHIGÉNIE EN TAURIDE by Gluck - The Met: Live in HD February 26, 2011

Plácido Domingo and Susan Graham star in Gluck’s nuanced and elegant interpretation of this primal Greek myth. Based on the ancient Greek play “Iphigeneia in Tauris” it features the children of Agamemnon in the aftermath of the Trojan War. Iphigenie is the daughter of Agamemnon. Her father was killed by her mother, and her mother was killed by her brother, Orestes. Her brother returns after many years and will be sacrificed as a stranger. Love, tragedy, and betrayal abound!
