NorrlandsOperan and the dramatic art collective La Fura Dels Baus have created a unique monumental outdoor performance of Richard Strauss’ one act opera Elektra. Cranes, mechanical giants with singers standing inside their chests, skips filled with Blood – Elektra is NorrlandsOperan’s 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).
