Electra is a complementary opera to Iphigenia in Tauris in topic only. Both operas are roughly drawn around the same story line although each tackle different components and seasons of the tale. Both are extremely dark story lines which of course makes for fabulously intriguing opera.
Pros: Spooky feel to the whole story line.
Cons: You tend to not know who to root for. Do you cheer for the daughter with only revenge on her mind? Or the mom who just wants to move on? Somehow neither option seems right.
Must See Rating: ****
Happy Retirement!
