Strauss: Elektra

NorrlandsOperan and the Catalan theatre art collective La Fura dels Baus have created a unique monumental outdoor performance of Richard Strausss one-act opera Elektra. Cranes, mechanical giants with singers standing inside their chests, skips filled with blood Elektra is NorrlandsOperans biggest and most complex production ever, including many special effects: Suddenly, the front of the large containers opened up. Bloody water came gushing out in copious amounts. The water level on the graveyard rose and turned red. (Kulturkorren)
