APGRD Notes
Isadora Duncan's 'Dionysion' programme at the Century Opera House, New York, in March-April 1915, consisted of a repertoire of performances of: scenes from 'Iphigenia in Aulis' and 'Iphigenia in Tauris'; 'Orpheus' (see production ID 14833); and 'Oedipus' (with Beethoven) (production ID 7052) as well as performances of Schubert and Chopin. Dionysion's Music Director was Edward Falck, and the Drama Director was Augustin Duncan.

The 'Iphigenia' performances consisted of two parts:

Part I: Songs, choruses and dances from 'Iphigenia in Aulis' by Gluck, with verses written by Louis Anspacher, and "overture with Finale of Richard Wagner".
Part II: 'Iphigenia in Tauris', with choruses written by Witter Bynner [translation of IT was made by Witter Bynner for Isadora Duncan in 1914, and published in 1915].
