Alceste an opera in three acts with text by R. de Calzabigi and a ballet by Noverre was first performed on 26 December 1767 at the Burgtheater in Vienna. It was revised by Gluck for a performance in Paris on 23 April 1776. "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."

"Iphigénie en Tauride was given on May 18 1778 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." Cooper: Gluck p. 258. While Marie-Antoinette is not actually mentioned on the title she was the queen to whom the work is dedicated. Des Lauriers [without PN] unknown books
