New National Theatre, Tokyo R. Strauss Opera "Elektra Unofficial
new production
2026/07/05(su.) 14:00 Starting
R. Strauss's masterpiece of Greek tragedy, "Electra," will appear in a new production in the New National Theatre's 2025/2026 season. Centered on the princess Electra, who is bent on avenging her father's death, the play depicts intense emotions such as tension, hatred, fear, and joy with overwhelming music concentrated in one act without intermission. Under the direction of Artistic Director Kazushi Ohno, the cast of this production is a stellar lineup including Ihle Assoni, acclaimed in major opera houses around the world, mezzo-soprano Mihoko Fujimura, one of Japan's leading sopranos, and Egils Sirins, a talented opera singer. The thick sound of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, said to be the largest orchestra in the history of opera, eloquently depicts the terrible revenge drama that approaches the depths of human nature.
