Background: When Richard Strauss set Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s “Electra” to music in 1909, it marked the beginning of the long-standing and productive collaboration between the two artists. Convinced that the drama was suitable to be staged as an opera, Strauss produced some music that could ideally achieve the expressionistic “trauma of faithfulness” that the work demanded. Martin Kušejs’ production at the Zurich opera house brings the bloody, ancient story into the present day: In the courtyard of her father who was murdered at the hands of her mother, Electra’s isolation is striking in that she is dressed as a punk in the better family. The director expertly realises the tension between uninhibited and yet suppressed sexuality: “…a sinister, cold atmosphere of sex and degradation“. We witness a society that has gone mad, one that only knows violence. |
