LiveStage Performance gracefully carries forth the "rock theater ethic" with its second NYC production, ELEKTRAFIRE a modern rock opera.

Transforming Sophocles' Tragedy of Electra, ELEKTRAFIRE a modern rock opera features women in all leading roles, and conflicts ranging from abuse to murder to righteous vengeance. With a guitar-driven score reminiscent of Nirvana/Tool, this royally dysfunctional royal family detonates in this bloody rock-fueled psychodrama.

Elektra, royal princess in the House of Atreus, is surrounded by murder, lies, abuse and torture. She, her sister Chrysothemis, and their brother Orestes must work together to escape the brutal manipulations of their mother, Queen Klytemnestra, and bring peace to their lives. Each must decide what is right and wrong, what is justice and what is revenge, and what's the proper response. ELEKTRAFIRE tells a chilling tale of empowerment and self-reliance.

ELEKTRAFIRE stars Eliot Norton Award winner Bridget Beirne as the manic yet golden-hearted Elektra. Joining her are talented alumnae from such theatrical sources as The Producers, The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, the percussion phenomenon STOMP, and the Tony-Award winning smash new musical, Spring Awakenings.
