GUILLARD, NIC. FR. - Iphigéni En Tauride, Tragedie Représentée Pour La Premiere Fois Par L' Academie Royale De Musique Le Mardi Sixieme Jour De Mai 1704.

Amsterdam, Henri Schelte. 1705, A New Edition. Full-Vellum, 16Mo.15.7 x 10.5 Cm. Book, 68 PP. Engraved frontispice [ classical scene] Woodcut printers mark at title. Iphigénie en Tauride (Iphigeneia in Tauris) is an opera by Christoph Willibald Gluck in four acts. It was his fifth opera for the French stage. The libretto was written by Nicolas-François Guillard. At the end; catalogue de tous les opera imprimez chez Henri Schelte, a 2-1/2 page with available titles by this prolific Dutch publisher. With Iphigénie, Gluck took his operatic reform to its logical conclusion. The recitatives are shorter and they are récitatif accompagné. The normal dance movements that one finds in the French Tragédie are almost entirely absent. The drama is based on the play Iphigeneia in Tauris by the ancient Greek dramatist Euripides which deals with Greek mythological stories concerning the family of Agamemnon in the aftermath of the Trojan War. Bound with 7 other other plays as [e.g.] Omphale, l'Europe galante, Marthesie] Some parts with slight waterstain and/ or worming at inner margin. Good.
