Elektra
演出简介
In just one act, a steady build‐up of tension, violence, and powerful emotions… a raging orchestra… voices taken to their limits… a high‐calibre cast under the fiery baton of Yannick Nézet‐Séguin.
Strauss's opera Elektra is very musically complex. It is a difficult piece which which requires stamina to perform. The role of Elektra, performed here by American soprano Lise Lindstrom is one of the most demanding in the dramatic soprano repertoire.
First performed in Dresden in December of 1909, the opera is highly modernist and expressionist, despite being based on ancient Greek mythology, with the events being set in Mycenae, Greece, in the palace of King Agamemnon.
