CLASSICAL The Olivier Award-winning English Touring Opera presents

Iphigénie en Tauride

FRI 13 & SAT 14 MAY

By Christoph Wilibald Gluck

Vampire-like villains and human sacrifice form a bloodthirsty backdrop to what is one of the most refined and perfect of operas, based on a famous story from Greek myth. By a composer who influenced future generations from Mozart to Wagner, this account of the reunion of Iphigénia and her brother in the aftermath of the Trojan War is an eloquent, heart-wrenching masterpiece. Sung in French with English surtitles.

Don Giovanni By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Larger than life in many ways, the darkest of comedies and the sexiest of cautionary tales, Don Giovanni is an opera that must be seen, heard, and talked about, over and over again. Is Don Giovanni a hero who defies all authority – or a murderous villain? Whichever way you are pulled, Mozart’s masterpiece is a musical and dramatic whirlwind, here presented in a new production set in imperial Vienna.
