Triumph for the performance of “Elektra” by Richard Strauss on the 27th of March! The audience’s reviews

A stunning performance which tells the ancient Greek tale of the same name by Sophocles, adapted by the Austrian writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Director Plamen Kartaloff creates an almost cinematic take on Richard Strauss’ operas enriched with Sven Jonke’s innovative scenography, Leo Kulas’ costumes and Fredy Franzutti’s choreography.

Starring on the 27th of March: Liliya Kehayova – Elektra, Gergana Rusekova – Clytemnestra, Radostina Nikolaeva – Chrysothemis, Daniel Ostretsov – Egist, and Veselin Mihailov – Orest. Under the conductorship of Georg Fritzsch and with the participation of the Sofia Opera orchestra
