Description: This chapter will analyze the aesthetic stance of the librettists and composers; the relationship between the libretti and the source texts; and some of the ways in which the musical seting interpreted the Greek story for the contemporary audience. (Suauss's opera is cited by the rehearsal figures and bar numbers of the study score published by Boosey and Hawkes. Note that Strauss began a new set of rehearsal figures with 1a at the centre point of the opera, when Chrystothemis runs in with the news that 'Orest ist tot!')
