Strauss’ thrilling and audacious adaptation of this Greek tragedy receives a new staging by the award-winning director Christof Loy with Nina Stemme in the title role, conducted by Antonio Pappano.

Grief turns into a violent quest for revenge. King Agamemnon has been murdered by his wife Klytämnestra and her lover, Ägisth. Princess Chrysothemis urges caution, but her sister, Elektra, cannot rest until she has killed her own mother.

With a score memorably described by one critic as ‘the colour of blood’, Richard Strauss’s audacious adaptation of the iconic Greek tragedy has shocked and excited audiences since its 1909 premiere. Expect musical and dramatic fireworks as Christof Loy directs a truly extraordinary cast, with Nina Stemme in the title role and Karita Mattila as the guilt-stricken Klytämnestra, conducted by Antonio Pappano.
