The New National Theatre, Tokyo presents a newly produced production of Richard Strauss's shocking work "Elektra".

The title role is played by the internationally acclaimed Ire Assoni, and the cast includes internationally renowned singers such as Mihoko Fujimura as Mother Clytemnestra and Egils Sirince as Orestes. The Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will provide the overwhelming orchestral sound for a tense 1 hour and 45 minutes of human hatred and joy, which will be fully enjoyed at the Opera Palace. The dramatic ending of the revenge will shake the hearts of all who see it.
