Approved

"Elektra" is Richard Strauss' most radical musical theater, uncompromising, wild and expressionistic. A huge orchestral apparatus produces intoxicating sounds at the extreme limits of harmony. The story is archaic: For the murder of her father Agamemnon, Elektra and her brother Orestes want to take revenge on her mother Clytemnestra. She herself lives outside the palace with the dogs and longs for Orestes return. Finally he appears and kills Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisth. Elektra begins an ecstatic dance of joy, at the height of which she collapses dead.
