Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the world premiere of Richard Strauss's controversial Elektra (January 25, 1909) with One World Symphony's complete and uncut production. Based on the highly-charged Greek tragedy by Sophocles and adapted by Hofmannsthal, Elektra continues to stun and thrill contemporary listeners with the story of mighty Agamemnon, slain by his wife and her lover but avenged by his daughter Elektra. Strauss's scandalous music drama is one of the century's most daring scores for vocalists and symphony orchestra, brilliantly woven into a gripping psychodrama. Is Elektra possessed by her murdered father, or obsessed with honor and vengeance?
