| The saddest aria sung in G# major but sounds minor. Great moments - reaches way back into the emotional pallet and comes up with some vibrant colors - stretches the limits of a lyric mezzo soprano - often sung by a soprano - Glucks writing cleared the way for a Mozart to be more direct. Notes from KSFU broadcast of Chicago Production. |

| The star was the impeccable Susan Graham, whose portrayal of the tormented priestess was arresting in its commitment and strength. She shone vocally, singing with passion and spontaneity. Particularly moving was Iphigenia's first aria, "Non, je n'éspère plus" (No, I no longer hope), in which she pleads with Diana to be reunited with her brother. Graham sang her character's desperate supplications wrenchingly, without ever crossing into melodrama./ SFCV |
| "Iphigenie" may be one of those French roles that requires a hybrid mezzo/soprano, referred to as a falcon. It's usually a mezzo that can be pushed way up into soprano territory./ CriticalOpera Blog |
