Agamemnon ballets

There have been several dance works choreographed around the story of the mythological king of Mycenae, who was father of Iphigenia, Orestes, and Electra and who was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra when he returned from Troy. These include Noverre's Der gerächte Agamemnon (mus. Aspelmayr, Vienna, 1772), Clerico's Il ritorno d'Agamennone (Florence, 1821), Laban's Agamemnon's Tod (1924), and Graham's Clytemnestra (mus. El-Dabh, 1958).
