Mueller von Asow p. 409. <br/><br/>First performed on January 25 1909 at the Königlichen Opernhaus in Dresden under Ernst von Schuch. <br/><br/>"Elektra . marked the beginning of Strauss's artistic association with Hugo von Hofmannsthal whom he had first met in Berlin in 1899. Having seen Reinhardt's riveting production of Hofmannsthal's Elektra in the autumn of 1905 Strauss was convinced the play would make a compelling opera. Not entirely sure he should compose consecutive tragedies he nonetheless gave in to Hofmannsthal's pleading and vigorously began composing Elektra in the summer of 1906. As he had with Oscar Wilde's Salome he set the play to music which was finished in 1908 and given its première in 1909 as part of a Strauss opera festival in Dresden . Elektra failed to outshine her flashier sister but confirmed Strauss's pre-eminence among German opera composers confirmed Strauss's pre-eminence among German opera composers."

The immediate result was Ariadne auf Naxos 1911-12 a theatrical hybrid combining spoken theatre - a German adaptation of Molière's Le bourgeois gentilhomme Der Bürger als Edelmann with incidental music - and opera. The work first performed in Stuttgart in 1912 fell short of critical acclaim and was revised to greater success four years later when Strauss and Hofmannsthal replaced the play with a lively operatic prologue."

The premiere was planned for the Salzburg Festival 1944 but all theatrical performances were canceled by Goebbels in response to war-time developments. A dress rehearsal with an invited audience including Strauss was held on August 16 1944. The premiere was delayed until August 14 195 again at the Salzburg Festival with the same conductor Clemens Krauss but a different cast.<br/><br/>"As far back as 1920 Strauss's great collaborator Hofmannsthal had proposed Danae as the heroine of a mythological opera. After the writer's untimely death in 1929 the composer. asked Joseph Gregor in 1936 to develop the Danae idea. There was long painful rewriting and as usual the composer wounded his subservient partner by taking outside advice. and thrusting it upon him. The score was finished in June 1940. Strauss was reluctant to see this 'oeuvre posthume' staged during his lifetime and after the 1944 première meant to celebrate his 80th birthday was aborted by Goebbels when the Allies' Second Front threatened he never sanctioned another performance."
