Teatro Real

On November 3, 1998, Elektra, the extraordinary opera by Richard Strauss, with a libretto by the poet and playwright Hugo von Hofmannsthal, took to the stage of the Teatro Real for the first time, starring the soprano Eva Marton, considered one of the best interpreters of this role in the history of opera.

Among the ruins of La Fenice devoured by fire, recalling the fire that razed the iconic theatre in 1996, the scenography conceived by Ezio Toffolutti for stage director Henning Brockhaus further accentuates the desperation and tragedy of characters devoured by themselves and their destiny.

Eva Marton is accompanied by mezzo-soprano Anne Gjevang and soprano Ana María Sánchez in the leading roles, under the musical direction of García Navarro, who achieves, in this performance, an acclaimed interpretation of the complex score.
