Palm Beach Opera Presents Free Community Performance at CityPlace

Palm Beach Opera presents Iphigénie en Tauride by Christoph Willibald Gluck as the first performance of the 2013 One Opera in One Hour series on Friday, January 25, 2013 at 7:30 PM at the Harriet Himmel Theater in CityPlace.  Admission is free and no tickets are required.  More information is available at www.pbopera.org or by calling the Palm Beach Opera Box Office at561.833.7888.

This concert is the first of the 2013 season of One Opera in One Hour events which feature Palm Beach Opera’s Young Artists performing one hour abridged versions of operatic works with musical highlights and piano accompaniment.

Iphigénie en Tauride (“Iphigenia in Tauris”), based on the Greek myth about a priestess facing the aftermath of her family’s violent history, is often considered the culmination of Gluck’s life ambition to achieve a perfect union of music and drama.
