Mourning Becomes Electra is an opera in 3 acts by composer Marvin David Levy. The work uses an English language libretto by Henry W Butler after the play of the same name by Eugene O'Neill. It premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on March 17, 1967 with Zubin Mehta conducting. Mihalis Kakogiannis directed the production and Boris Aronson designed the sets, costumes, and lighting. The original production was received with luke warm reviews by critics. After not being performed for almost four decades, a revised version of the opera premiered much more successfully at the Seattle Opera on October 18, 2003. This version has subsequently been mounted by several notable opera companies, including productions starring soprano Lauren Flanigan as Christine Mannon at the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the New York City Opera.
