TY - JOUR A1 - Sheinberg, Esti T1 - Schweig und tanze! : Elektra, by Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Richard Strauss T2 - Min-Ad N2 - The last scene of Richard Strauss’ Elektra builds tension towards Elektra’s dance of victory and joy, leading to her ecstatic abdication in death. Indeed, the opera’s librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal describes this scene in one of his sketches as Elektra’s "dissolution of self."
