Human sacrifice forms the bloodthirsty backdrop to what is one of the most refined 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 Iphigenia and her brother in the aftermath of the Trojan War is an eloquent, heart-wrenching masterpiece.
Sung in French with English surtitles.
