Rehearsal Photo Flash: Madison Lyric Stage presents Elektra, June7-9

Some photos from Madison Lyric Stage’s production of Elektra, which is currently in rehearsal and running June 7-9 in Madison.

Inspired by the Greek tragedy by Sophocles, Elektra has just witnessed the murder of her father Agamemnon, the king, by her own mother. Now that she knows her mother’s hands are bloody, the tormented Elektra is hellbent on vengeance – but when her brother returns from exile to carry out her wishes, Elektra’s obsession for revenge pushes her fractured family to the brink of destruction.

Elektra is 100 minutes of action-packed, “fasten your seatbelt” opera, from its dramatic, harrowing music to its hair-raising finale. Three performances only June 7-9. Tix at madisonlyricstage.org
