Richard Strauss’ Elektra from 1909 is thrilling from the beginning to the end. It’s a breathtaking drama that also tore down the boundaries of tonality. Raw, uninhibited and primitive. This mythological tale is a claustrophobic cycle, from which no character manages to break free.
Stephen Langridge
Elektra is obsessed by the idea of murdering her mother as revenge for her mother and her mother’s lover killing Elektra’s father. Little by little, Elektra has lost her humanity since her father’s death. But once she has satisfied her quest for revenge, she has nothing left to live for.
our Artistic Director for Opera/Drama, puts Elektra’s struggle to liberate herself from the physical and mental scars of the deed at the very heart of his production. We are proud to be able to cast these demanding roles using our in-house soloists.
