Iphigenie en Tauride - English National Opera

Iphigénie and her brother Oreste are the children of the most blood-soaked dynasty in Greek history. Their inheritance is a legacy of violence dating back to the dawn of time.

Stranded on a remote island, forced to minister to the wishes of a terrifying ruler, Iphigenie dreams of home. The hope that she will one day reunite with her brother Oreste is all that stands between her and despair.

So, when a mysterious stranger washes up on the island’s shores with news of the collapse of her family, Iphigenie fears the worst. But is all as hopeless as first seems? Or is there more to this stranger than meets the eye?
