 Friday 7 June • 7pm Saturday 8 June • 3pm Sunday 9 June • 6pm Opera returns to the
Barber as the University’s finest musicians present Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Iphigenia in Aulis, an adaption of Euripides’ classic Greek tragedy. His first foray in to opera for
the Parisian stage proved fantastically popular and it is not difficult to see
how it went on to capture the imagination of Richard Wagner. With
a plot that twists and turns as the protagonist is torn between familial ties
and duty, it remains as enduringly enchanting today and this will no doubt be
yet another spectacular start to the University’s Summer Festival of Music. Barber Concert Hall £15, £12 concessions, £10 Barber friends, £5 students |
