Overview

Experience the raw power of Richard Strauss’s “Elektra,” a visceral masterpiece of 20th-century opera, at the New National Theatre, Tokyo. This gruesome revenge drama, based on Sophocles’ Greek tragedy, follows the titular character as she burns with a blind passion for vengeance against the blood-stained House of Atreus. The production is condensed into a single, high-tension act that masterfully explores the dizzying fluctuations of hatred, fear, joy, and ecstasy through some of the most dramatic music ever written for the stage.

Under the baton of Artistic Director Kazushi Ono and featuring the massive Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, this production promises an overwhelming sensory experience. Directed by Johannes Erato, whose musical sensibility has garnered international acclaim, the performance features a stellar cast including Aire Assoni in the demanding title role and the renowned Mihoko Fujimura as Clitemnestra. This is a rare opportunity to witness one of opera history’s largest orchestral scores performed in the world-class acoustics of the Opera Palace.
