With this opera "Gluck foreshadowed most clearly the musical achievement of Wagner. For it was not until Iphigenie en Tauride that he contrived a balance between musical and dramatic interest which was of its school a perfect one . Iphigenie en Tauride is the one indisputable masterpiece produced by Gluck the one composition which can be measured against the very highest productions in its own or any other branch of musical expression."

Second edition of the French version. Wotquenne 41. A variant issue of Hopkinson 41Ai but with the price of 36 instead of 24 tt. Lesure p. 240. RISM G2853. First performed in Vienna at the Burgtheater on 5 October 1762 in Italian to a libretto by Ranieri de' Calzabigi and in Paris at the Opéra on 2 August 1774 in French to a libretto by Pierre Louis Moline after Calzabigi. "More successfully than any of his contemporaries Gluck translated the widespread agitation for reform of opera and theatrical dance on the part of European intellectuals into actual works for the stage first in pantomime ballets and Italian serious operas for Vienna and then in operas of various sorts for Paris." Bruce Alan Brown and Julian Rushton in Grove Music Online "The classical orientation of Calzabigi evident in Orfeo ed Euridice from the moment the curtain rose on the almost archaeologically recreated ancient funerary ritual e.g. the threefold calling of the name of the deceased coloured the entirety of his collaboration with Gluck. Despite the ambiguous attributions of the prefaces signed by the composer it is clear that Gluck largely shared his librettist's classical enthusiasms. . It is revealing that Gluck sought out subject matter from Greek tragedy independently of Calzabigi after the latter's departure from Vienna - most probably with his inner conviction mixing with a desire to exploit the goût grec then prevailing in France. . Calzabigi's poetry was almost completely devoid of metaphors and similes and placed a mere three characters in a fluid context of dances and choruses or both simultaneously. The action was reduced to essentials: a demonstration of the persuasive powers of music and a cautionary tale on the dangers of curiosity with Orpheus bewailing the loss of his wife already as the curtain rose. Gluck's approach as composer was no less radical particularly in his near-complete elimination of coloratura and of opening ritornellos in the solo numbers. Above all the opera was remarkable in its emphasis on continuity which was achieved chiefly through the enchaining of harmonically open-ended sections of music and through the complete avoidance of recitativo semplice in favour of orchestrally accompanied recitatives so as to avoid sharp contrasts of texture with the set pieces. This continuity and the nearly syllabic vocal writing were calculated to prevent applause and thus also to promote the audience's absorption in the spectacle."
