Premiered in 1974 by one of the most important choreographers of our time, Pina Bausch’s Iphigenia in Tauris takes Gluck’s glorious 1781 opera to new heights of dramatic intensity.
With the luxurious, combined forces of Pina Bausch’s world famous dance company, superb singers and the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, the grandeur and purity of Gluck’s score is conveyed through dance images of extraordinary force and beauty. Love, purity and sacrifice contrast with the murderous history of an ancient royal family in a Greek tragedy filled with profound emotion.
