LateRooms.com - Iphigenie auf Taurus Set to Open in Barcelona

    BARCELONA, SPAIN, August 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A production of Iphigenie auf Taurus will be performed at one of Barcelona's most important art venues later this summer.

Guests at some of the cheap hotels Barcelona has to offer can enjoy Christoph Willibald Gluck's four-act opera at the Gran Teatre del Liceu from September 4th to 7th, with show times varying depending on the day.

This opera and dance performance has been choreographed by Pina Bausch, who has also assumed the role of stage director, as well as being involved with the scenery and costumes alongside Jurgen Dreier.

Conducting the show will be Jan Michael Horstmann.

The piece represents the end of Gluck's Parisian period, which ran from 1773 to 1779, according to the organisers.

"It is considered one of his most perfect and brilliant operas, with a seamless blend of music and drama that makes it extraordinarily expressive," noted the theatre.

First performed in 1779 in Paris, a German version was created two years later, of which this production is an adaptation.

The cost of tickets varies depending on where in the venue people want to sit, with prices going up to EUR164 for the most expensive seats in the house.

Among the other productions being staged at the art space soon is Carmen by Georges Bizet, which will be available to see towards the end of September and the first half of October.
