MET Opera: Elektra (Richard Strauss)(Live 2016)

The genius director Patrice Chu00e9reau (From the House of the Dead) didnu0027t live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme - unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner - who portrays Elektrau0027s primal quest for vengeance. Legendary mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektrau0027s fearsome mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass Eric Owens are Elektrau0027s troubled siblings. Chu00e9reau?s musical collaborator, Esa-Pekka Salonen, conducts. Gesungen in Deutsch (mit deutschen Untertiteln)
