Ophelia, the Hysterical

The project “Ophelia, the Hysterical” is a new proposal for the performance of the traditional repertoire, “Drei Lieder der Ophelia”, Op.67, by Richard Strauss, presented in three short audiovisual episodes.

Each episode presents an artistic reflection narrated and visually illustrated, based on the analysis of the character Ophelia, from the play Hamlet, by Shakespeare. Through this lens, the project draws a poignant parallel between the struggles of this 17th-century fictional figure and the challenges faced by women in today’s world.
