Greek National Opera
inaugurates the new chapter in its history at its new premises at the Stavros
Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center with an ambitious venture, having chosen an
insuperable operatic masterpiece with a Greek storyline as its first work; none
other than Richard Strauss’ Elektra based on the tragedy of that name by
Sophocles.
Elektra will be presented in a new ambitious production, conducted by Vassilis Christopoulos and directed by Yannis Kokkos, who also signs the sets, on October 15, 18, 22, 26, 31, 2017, at the Greek National Opera’s Stavros Niarchos Hall at the SNFCC.

Elektra has been dubbed one
of the most important, yet also most demanding, 20th century operas. Staging
the work is a major challenge for the Greek National Opera and its musical
ensembles because the particularly complex score, in which Strauss pushes
expressionistic delivery to the limits, almost touching upon tonality, requires
around 110 musical instruments.
