Muller von Asow I p. 409. <br/><br/>Elektra premiered in Dresden at the önigliches Opernhaus on 25 January 1909.<br/><br/>"The music of Elektra is often diagnosed as marking an 'advanced' point - i.e. on the way to modernist atonality - from which the composer then staged a prudent inglorious retreat. That bespeaks a prejudice which he never espoused. Though passages in the opera share the queasy harmonic climate of Schoenberg's op.11 no.2 piano piece 1909 Strauss felt no natural urge towards atonality as the Music of the Future. The sporadic 'atonalisms' in Elektra as in his Ophelia songs were meant to convey the exacerbated spiritual condition of his characters not to promote some more radical cause. .The apparent similarities between Elektra and say Schoenberg's atonal Erwartung also 1909 lie in their violent extremes - of vocal line and histrionic moods of dynamics and post-Romantic orchestration. Strauss's score however absolutely presupposes a secure tonal norm against which to measure its harsh disorientating dramatic effects for an audience with late Romantic ears."

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."

Critical reaction after the October 1915 première was mixed; some went as far as to describe it negatively as 'cinema music' a remarkable claim given that film was still a new medium."

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."
