Join us for an innovative new production of Iphigénie en Tauride for the Opera UCLA ensemble featuring students from voice and opera. Iphigénie en Tauride follows the cursed House of Atreus in ancient Greece. Spared from sacrifice by the goddess Artemis\, Iphigénie is carried to Tauris\, where she serves as a priestess among a people who sacrifice to Artemis any Greek who lands on their shores. When Iphigénie’s brother Orestes arrives\, the tragedy deepens: she does not recognize him—believing him to be long dead—and prepares to sacrifice him. Welcome as guest artist the rising acclaimed young conductor Stefano Flavoni\, on leave from the Hamburg State Opera to debut with Opera UCLA as music director snd conductor. This event is free and open to the public. This production will not be livestreamed. However\, it will be filmed\, and a cinematic version will be made available to the public at a future date. ADVISORY: The production contains mature themes (violence\, murder\, assault) and strobe-like lighting effects that may be intense for photo-sensitive audience members.
