Iphigénie en Tauride (Desmarets and Campra)

Iphigénie en Tauride (English: Iphigeneia in Tauris) is an opera by the French composers Henri Desmarets and André Campra.

The libretto is by Joseph-François Duché de Vancy with additions by Antoine Danchet.

Desmarets had begun work on the opera around 1696 but abandoned it when he was forced to go into exile in 1699.

The plot is ultimately based on Euripides' tragedy Iphigeneia in Tauris.
