In a brutal world where revenge is enacted with the axe, Klytamnestra has murdered her husband Agamemnon. Their daughter Elektra is consumed by her grief and is fixated on vengeance against her mother. Justice must be served.
San Francisco Opera's production, praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as "extraordinary" and "stunning," brings us to a modern-day museum and an exhibit on Elektra. A young woman grappling with her own life is pulled into the ancient narrative in this ingenious production by Keith Warner—a taut psychological thriller in which the past and the present become one.
