Produciton of IPHIGENIE EN TAURIDE in german language in Theater in Palee in Graz, Austria in 2004
Conductor: Wolfgang Schmied
Director: Christian Pöppelreiter
The scene in this video is Orest cutting his veins and singing the recitativo "Dieux! Protecteurs De Ces Affreux Rivages..." and Aria "Le Calme Rentre Dans Mon Coeur" in german.
It´s a very interesting challenge as singer and actor to perform this scene, because nothing is really happening-there is just an atmosphere of stillnes. Orest is calmed down for the first time in 20 years...(not on video - when the Aria ends, the "Eumeniden" strike again)
@jpctrp : I was not allowed to do anything more. The Director forbade me to take any kind of action
