Shortly after conquering the opera world with his scandalous masterpiece Salome, Richard Strauss turned to Hugo von Hofmannsthal's recent adaptation of Sophocles's Electra for his next project. The resulting opera is an intense and still-startling work that unites the commanding impact of Greek tragedy with the unsettling insights of early 20th-century Freudian psychology. The drama unfolds in a single act of rare vocal and orchestral power.

Approximate HD runtime is 2 hours. Visit fathomevents.com/event/met1516-elektra-live for more info.
