Orest

Complete ecstasy, extreme states: the ancient drama surrounding Elektra opens up abysses. But the shock is of great majesty. Richard Strauss composed the corresponding music: terribly beautiful, of overwhelming sensuality.

Richard Strauss created this family tragedy with bold harmonies and late romantic gestures - from the title heroine's thirst for revenge to its terrible fulfillment. Elektra's father was killed by her mother and her lover. Now her brother Orest returns and murders the murderers. Elektra dances and collapses in triumph. Iréne Theorin in the lead role and Violeta Urmana as Clytemnestra guarantee a gripping mother-daughter duel. Two world opera stars visiting Cologne!
