New National Theatre, Tokyo R. Strauss Opera "Elektra Unofficial
Richard Strauss Opera "Elektra" (New Production)
2026/06/29(mo.) 19:00 Starting
The New National Theatre, Tokyo presents a new production of Richard Strauss' masterpiece opera "Elektra". Based on an ancient Greek tragedy, this work depicts the intense emotions of the vengeful hero with overwhelming power, performed by a thick orchestra that is said to be the largest in the history of opera. Artistic Director Kazushi Ohno conducts the production with all his might, and internationally acclaimed director Johannes Ehlert, whose musical sensibility is highly acclaimed, will overwhelm the audience from both the visual and aural perspectives. The tension-filled psychological drama performed by a stellar cast, including the title role of Ire Assoni, world-famous mezzo-soprano Mihoko Fujimura, and Egils Sirins, is truly a must-see. We hope you will experience the moment when extreme human emotions are sublimated into music in the excellent acoustics of the New National Theatre Opera Palace.
