Elektra—a poisoned, shattered soul—witnessed the murder of her father King Agamemnon when she was just a child. And the killers? Elektra’s very own mother, Queen Clytemnestra, and her lover Aegisthus. Isolated and maltreated, Elektra now lives for just one thing—death for her mother at the hands of her brother Orestes. But when she’s told that he’s been killed, Elektra cracks—vowing to enact her own terrible revenge.

“There will be blood!” she screams—and so there is as Elektra hurtles to its cataclysmic conclusion.

Sir Andrew Davis conducts this riveting new David McVicar production featuring the Lyric debut of a new dramatic-soprano star.
