Электра, Op. 58 — это одноактная опера немецкого композитора Рихарда Штрауса с либретто писателя Гуго фон Гофмансталя (также либреттиста опер Кавалер розы и Ариадна на Наксосе). Произведение представляет собой современное переосмысление одноименной драмы Софокла, повествующей о событиях после возвращения царя Агамемнона из Троянской войны. Его жена, Клитемнестра, убивает его, чтобы жить со своим любовником и править городом Микены. В тени дети королевской четы, Электра и ее брат Орест, поддаются жажде мести, стремясь восстановить репутацию своего отца. Чтобы музыкально изобразить мрачные атмосферы Электры, Штраус прибегает к мощной и диссонантной оркестровке: настоящий шедевр, который, наряду с другой его ранней оперой, Саломея, предвосхищает экспрессионистский период!

Elektra is an opera by Strauss that tells the story of Agamemnon's daughter seeking vengeance: her father was the legendary commander of the Greek troops during the Trojan War. It immediately recalls a statement by the Italian intellectual Furio Jesi: "Mythological materials are merely texts to which a qualification is mistakenly attributed due to the wrong choice of method, as one remains hypnotized by one of their many possible interpretations." It is not surprising, then, that the character of Elektra, in the hands of the father of psychoanalysis, Freud, became a symbol of a psychological complex. In fact, Elektra represents an atavistic passion: a daughter's love for her father, which, in its pathological manifestations, transforms into hatred for her own mother. Thus, Strauss's Elektra continues to resonate, revealing the depths of our souls through its dark atmospheres and neurasthenic arias.
