“Elektra” is a tragedy about the sunset of an ancient civilization, but thanks to Strauss's bold, innovative musical language, the opera has turned into an exciting and lively musical drama, a vivid example of expressionism.

“Madama Butterfly” has been on the playbill of the world opera houses for more than a hundred years. Among other outstanding performances of the opera, the one offered by The St. Petersburg Chamber Opera has become one of the most extraordinary versions of the brilliant score by Puccini. The performance is skillfully built and thoroughly designed. Instead of external effects and pseudo-Oriental exoticism, it strikes the audience with its bright passion, personal touch, and psychological depth.
