Our KGU Green Phil Harmonic Orchestra periodical concert's opening song is Iphigenia in Aulis made by Gluck. It story is Caches, the great seer, prophesies that king Agamemnon must sacrifice his own daughter, Iphigenia, in order to guarantee fair winds for the king's fleet en route to Troy –- a demand that arrives from the goddess Diana herself. Throughout the opera, Agamemnon struggles with the terrible choice between sparing his daughter's life and ensuring his subjects' welfare.
Agamemnon summons his daughter to Aulis, the port where the Greek navy is gathering, ostensibly for her to wed Achilles, the great warrior hero. Then, doubting his decision, the king sends Arcos, his captain of the guards, to send her back home with the fabricated explanation that Achilles has been unfaithful.
However, Arcos also has second thoughts, and he ultimately reveals the plot to Achilles. Achilles rushes to save Iphigenia from sacrifice; however, the Greek people have taken Caches' prophecy to heart, and they demand the ceremony go forward.
At this point, Iphigenia resigns to her fate, and offers her own life for the sake of her people. Just in time, however, Caches announces that Diana has changed her mind about the sacrifice. The opera concludes with Gluck's most significant revision of the original myth, when Diana appears personally to consecrate both the wedding and Agamemnon's voyage.
I think I want to play it very well. I practice many times.
