Marvin David Levy (born August 2,
1932, New Jersey) is an American composer. He is perhaps best known for his
opera Mourning Becomes Electra which was given its world premiere at the
Metropolitan Opera in 1967. Although deemed a failure at the time, the work was
revived in 1998 in a revised version by the composer to a triumphant success at
the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The New York City Opera and the Seattle Opera
staged the work in 2003.
