DRESS REHEARSAL : Iphigénie en Tauride

11 Sep. 2021

  • Palais Garnier

Enter the heart of the creation and discover the artists at work!

The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsal and dress rehearsal. The dress rehearsal is the last rehearsal before the first performance.

IPHIGÉNIE EN TAURIDE

Gluck’s last opera tragedy features three characters tormented by what modern psychology would describe as post-traumatic reactions: Iphigenia, who escaped the sacrifice demanded by her compatriots in their warring madness; Orestes, gnawed by remorse for having murdered his mother; and King Thoas, obsessed by nightmarish visions of his own death. Director Krzysztof Warlikowski transposes the work into the realms of a retirement home, where the heroine, an ageing resident, is haunted by her past. In this closed, stifling environment, characters, as legendary as they are real, confront one another to bring an end to the perpetual cycle of violence.
