A one-act opera in a by Richard Strauss in slavic setting in German...
The beginning... Clytemnestra together with her lover Aegisthus killed her husband Agamemnon...
Agamemnon's and Clytemnestra's daughter Elektra of course is deeply traumatized and obsessed by the memory of her father...
the only thing she thinks of is avenge!
Although news comes that her brother Orestes is dead, it turns out that the stranger who came with news is actually Orestes... who kills his mother.
All the guys are belonging to the clan of the Atrides, and the clan misfit can be traced back to the king Tantalus slaughtered his sun Pelopos and served him up as a dish for the gods in order to test their omniscience... and believe me, you don't want to hear about his punishment and the full story of the Atrides family... As a curiosity, Electra character has been part of the study in hysteria by Sigmund Freud...
The set design and costume design is modernistic and gives extra twist to the drama...
This is actually quite terrifying psychodrama, directed very authentically and sharp with very good singes performance.
By the way, Pelops was brought back to live by the gods...
Copenhagen, Operaen, Store Scene
