	Dramatic structure in Strauss’s Elektra
		In the end, Hofmannsthal convinced Strauss that the two plays were fundamentally different, and by 1906 Strauss set to work on the libretto and then began composing the opera.
		Since that day Elektra has lived for one thing only.: the moment of vengeance—the day her brother Orestes returns to avenge his father by killing his mother.
		Seeing Elektra’s violent reaction and sorrow on hearing the news, the stranger asks her if she is related to Orestes and Agamemnon.

	May 20 & 23
		Elektra is, in a way, the flipside of Salome: whereas Oscar Wilde's heroine is consumed with erotic passion, Elektra is disgusted with everything sexual and feels only scorn for her sister's femininity.
		Elektra refuses to believe it, but her sister insists that two trustworthy strangers have just brought the news that Orest was killed by his own horses.
		Elektra pours out her grief in an intensely chromatic arioso, which is so full of pain that the stranger begins to wonder who this inconsolable woman is. When she reveals her name, the stranger reacts with sudden animation.

		Mourning may become Elektra, the angry and traumatized assassin from 2002's Daredevil who's now getting her own movie, but it doesn't really become Jennifer Garner.
		At the start, Elektra is polishing off bad men for big money (the movie, like all movies about sympathetic assassins, subscribes to Martin Blank's dictum "If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there").
		It's Stick who brings the once-dead Elektra back to life (since she died in Daredevil), and it's Stamp who brings Elektra to life when it flags.

	Queen (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He can also be seen playing the grand piano in the video to "Spread Your Wings", although he didn't play it on the studio version.
		He played rhythm instruments less than the other Queen members, but occasionally he did some bass or drum parts in his solo albums, and within the band he composed some parts for those instruments, as in "Sweet Lady" or "Teo Torriatte".
		In addition to his drum work, he routinely played the guitars and bass on his own songs, and, during the 1980s, he formed a parallel band known as The Cross in which he was the singer and rhythm guitarist.

	Movie Spoiler for the film - ELEKTRA
		Elektra realizes what this means and that night goes over to the Miller house just in time to take out their would be killers, who happen to disappear in a puff of green light and smoke when they die (pretty cool, actually).
		Elektra follows the sounds of fighting and sees that Stick is instructing Abby how to fight, telling her to anticipate her enemy's position rather than waste time looking for him.
		Elektra sits on the bed so Abby can reach her and is told by Abby, "You saved my life." Elektra smiles and replies in a barely-holding-back-tears voice, "You saved my life." She kisses Abby, gets up, and turns to Mark.

	The Elektra Story
		Theodore Bikel became the mainstay of Elektra from 1956 to 1961, eventually because of his importance to the founding of Elektra, Holzman sold Bikel a 5% share of Elektra for $20,000 which returned a half million to Bikel when Elektra was sold.
		Elektra had never had a successful single, but Holzman finally agreed, and the $10,000 was paid to the group.
		Elektra continues today as part of Time-Warner Communications and is still very successful releasing records by such different artists as Metallica, Third Eye Blind, or rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard, as well as distributing independent English-founded labels as Mute (Depeche Mode) or Fiction (the Cure).

	Elektra review (2005) Jennifer Garner - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		In the comic book world, Elektra has always been more of a third-tier "superhero", who has had her purpose and enjoyed a brief moment in the spotlight due to her philandering with a well-known character as written by one of the finest writers in the comic industry, Frank Miller.
		Elektra is more or less inspired by events in the comic books that tell a similar story, whereby Elektra Natchios (Garner, 13 Going on 30) is resurrected through some sort of ancient Eastern ritual, and must fight supernaturally powered enemies known simply as The Hand.
		Elektra finds that she can't go through with it, so the job is turned over to the dark forces of The Hand, forcing Elektra to play bodyguard for the man and girl.

		The main character, Elektra, grieves over the loss of her father, Agamemnon, who was murdered by his wife, Klytemnestra, and his cousin, Aegisthus, because they were involved in an adulterous affair.
		Elektra displays great disdain for her mother and Aegisthus, while seeking revenge for the murder of her father.
		The script calls for Elektra and some of the other characters to switch between speaking English and Greek, which takes away from the show because it is confusing unless one speaks fluent Greek.

	Elektra LA Weekly Feature
		True, Elektra is a theme-and-variation on Sophocles' lament for the House of Atreus, while the Bozena derive from the kinds of clowns who might have parodied that lofty scribe in a satyr play at some Greek festival a couple of thousand years ago.
		In the latter, young Elektra (Alice Dodd) - a spiky haired punk - rails against her boa-wrapped, emotionally imploding mommie dearest (the powerhouse Jennifer Griffin) while calling upon the video-taped image of Agamemnon (Gregg Daniel) to justify the sacrifice of her sister, and to help avenge his own murder.
		Dodd's fidgety, neurotic Elektra pales beside the epic sweep of Griffin's Clytemnestra or the intensity of White's Chrysothemis - a discrepancy of style and power that would work against Margraff's play were it about traditional storytelling and psychology.

	Forever Changing: The Golden Age Of Elektra Records 1963-1973 : Various Artists : Review : Rolling Stone
		This outstanding five-CD set is a study in consistent adventure and excellence in which the star is not a particular artist, genre or epoch (despite the subtitle here) but a logo: the capital E that was Elektra Records' signature of quality in the second half of the Sixties.
		The above artists are all present with seminal performances, along with cult-hero pillars of Elektra's roster, such as singer-songwriter David Ackles, folk-blues singers Tom Rush and Judy Henske, and progressive-bluegrass band the Dillards.
		And some of Holzman's best acts never issued a second album for Elektra, including the L.A. acid-thunder outfit Clear Light (the first band I ever heard with two drummers), songwriter Steve Noonan and folk guitarist Pat Kilroy, who died a year after his brilliant, only album, Light of Day, was released.

	Elektra
		The story is a seldom-seen part of the Trojan War cycle, a kind of Hamlet-for-girls where Elektra has to cope with her mother's (Klytemnestra) killing her father (Agamemnon) and taking another man to bed.
		She spends the play plotting revenge, and awaiting the arrival of her hero brother, Orestes, who will set all to rights.
		Faced with the difficulty of performing a coherent play while exploring the opportunities for greater method and realism offered by Pound's text, Hawkes' company has opted to try for a performance which is at once stylised and naturalistic - a difficult, but interesting choice.

	ELEKTRA (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Garner did already play ELEKTRA in 2003’s DAREDEVIL, another Marvel super hero film about the blind vigilante where she played his love interest that was ever so deadly with a pair of sais.
		ELEKTRA kind of takes place shortly after the events of DAREDEVIL, but I would not really label it as a direct sequel to the film, considering that not one mention of Daredevil or any of the major events or other characters are made in the film.
		ELEKTRA is, at times, well acted and slickly directed (It's done with a reasonable amount of style and polish by Rob Bowman, who made the X-FILES movie), but it is largely a forgettable outing in the super hero genre.

	Hofmannsthal: Operatic Works
		The musicologist Jan Swafford stated: "[Hofmannsthal] would prove to be one of the finest librettists opera has seen, in the splendid company of Mozart's Da Ponte and Verdi's Boito." All told, he composed six libretti for the German composer Richard Strauss, several of which rank near the top of the genre.
		Elektra was their first collaboration, and by far one their most popular: although the play was very successful, the opera achieved such fame that the play ceased to be produced.
		In Hofmannsthal's version, Elektra is a neurotic yet psychologically real character, and she clearly resembles the young women in Freud's Studies of Hysteria.

	Reid, R., ed.: Elektra: A Play by Ezra Pound.
		The success of Carey Perloff's Classic Stage Company debut of Pound's play in 1987 has already demonstrated the interest of the theatrical community in the work, and this presentation of the text, with critical apparatus, is a major event in Pound studies.
		In the play Sophocles confronts many of our most deeply held cultural assumptions: those concerning the family, the community, the claims of religion and justice, and language itself.
		This play and Pound's version of the Trachiniae can lead to a reassessment of his entire oeuvre in the context of this century's history.

		"Elektra is very much more open and vulnerable than she is in her adult persona - and she's got a very appealing exuberance about her that contrasts strongly with the grimly focused personality she has later.
		Elektra is this weird paradox: a strong, capable woman who is nonetheless pulled out of shape by terrible, stressful experiences and consistently ends up a long way from where she wanted to be.
