Richard Strauss: Elektra

Overview

It is for the memory of Agamemnon that Elektra continues to live – and for the memory of his violent death at the hands of his wife Clytemnestra, her own mother. Elektra’s life revolves completely around the question of how this murder can be avenged. With the issue of crime and punishment comes the desire to personally right past wrongs without causing further injustice – moral dilemmas that remain burningly relevant today.
