'''{{lang|it| | '''{{lang|it|Ifigenia in Aulide}}''' is an opera (''dramma per musica'') by [[Antonio Caldara]] in three acts, based on a libretto by [[Apostolo Zeno]]. The opera premiered in Vienna on {{Start date|1718|11|04}}.<ref name="Booklet"/><ref name="GrossesS"/> | ||
''Iphigenia in Aulis'' and ''Iphigenia in Tauris'' are two Greek tragedies by the playwright Euripides. They both center around the character of Iphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra. However, they take place at different points in her life. | |||
The dilemma that King Agamemnon has to face in ''Iphigenia in Aulis'' is timeless. The price of power and the conflict between personal and public interests are frequent questions in Hollywood blockbusters so it's fair to say that the themes explored in ''Iphigenia in Aulis'' continue to be relevant even today. | |||
More than one Librettist clad''Ifigenia in Aulide'' into new words ready for the operatic stage. Most famous is probably Christoph Willibald Gluck's setting, who used libretto François-Louis Gand Le Bland Du Roullet after Jean Racines' tragedy.<ref name="WikiGluck"/> | |||
