Gluck's work is a tragedy in four acts to a libretto by Nicolas-François Guillard after Guymond de la Touche's Iphigénie en Tauride itself based on Euripides's work of the same name. "Iphigénie en Tauride was the crowning achievement of Gluck's career a result of the combination of his lifelong experience as an opera composer and a libretto which is arguably the best he ever set." Jeremy Hayes in Grove Music Online It was first performed in Paris at the Opéra on 18 May 1779 "with excellent singers; Rosalie Lavasseur sang Iphigénie Larrivée Oreste Legros Pylade and Moreau Thoas. . The opera had a great success immediately and even Grimm wrote of it - I do not know whether this is melody but perhaps it is something better. When I hear Iphigénie I forget I am at the opera; I seem to be listening to a Greek tragedy with music by Lekain and Mlle Clarion. It was the crowning point of Gluck's career. Guillard had provided an excellent libretto more classical than Goethe's poem less Christian and more ruthless; and Gluck had seized on the contrast between Scythians and Greeks upon the perfectly dramatic figures of Iphigenia and Orestes and had produced a work which both re-created a part of Greek tragedy and at the same time foretold a new world."

Wotquenne 47. BUC p. 386. RISM G2739 First performed in Paris at the Opéra on 24 September 1779. "Echo et Narcisse was a failure at its early performances largely because the audiences and critics expected high drama along the lines of Alceste Armide and Iphigénie en Tauride. But Echo et Narcisse is a different type of work; it belongs to the pastoral tradition still popular at this date and a genre to which Gluck frequently returned. Comparisons were and are still made with Gluck's more popular dramas because Echo et Narcisse contains numbers and scenes similar to those that had made greater impressions before. It is not a weak opera and there is much fine music in it ." Jeremy Hayes in Grove Music Online Gluck was a "Bohemian-Austrian composer of Italian and French opera a leading figure in opera of the second half of the 18th century and the person chiefly credited with the 'reform' of opera after the age of Metastasian opera seria. . Force of circumstance may have led Gluck to Paris to complete his operatic career but in artistic terms Paris can be seen as his inevitable final destination. His years of grounding in opéra comique and the ballet and via Traetta his response to the French tragédie lyrique tradition had already provided the impetus for his overhaul of the opera seria; now it was time to confront that tradition on its own territory. On more than one occasion indeed Gluck explicitly owned the French influence and its particular effect on his preparation for Paris. Between them the eight operas that he produced for the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris - the two Iphigénie operas; the radical revisions for Paris of the Vienna 'reform' operas Orfeo and Alceste; the similar revisions of the Vienna opéras comiques Cythère assiégée and L'arbre enchanté; Armide a new opera on a libretto that Quinault had written for Lully more than 90 years earlier; and the last opera Echo et Narcisse - are all different attempts at the confrontation and revival of that lyric tradition."

Incomplete with only first act and three pages of second act present. Worn overall with occasional staining foxing and soiling throughout primarily to blank margins; title worn and heavily browned stained and soiled with paper loss to edges; corners slightly bumped and creased; signatures separated; binder's holes to blank inner margin. First Edition unrecorded variant. Wotquenne 41. Hopkinson p. 43 41A. BUC p. 386. Lesure p. 240. RISM G2582. 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. "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."

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.

"Gluck himself stressed the nature of Alceste as a `reform opera' by providing in the preface dedicating the printed score to the Grand Duke Leopold a discussion that goes far beyond the conventional. .That key document at once a manifesto and a defense . is a sharp repudiation of the theory practice and conventions of the old "opera seria" represented in its final phase by Metastasio and his favourite composer Hasse."
