Richard Strauss - Elektra (Iréne Theorin, Eva-Maria Westbroek)

Grosses Festspielhaus, 2010 In this production of Richard Strauss's Elektra, drawn from the tragedy by Sophocles, the director embraces the score's fierce expressionism while allowing its late-19th-century lyricism to breathe. Swedish soprano Iréne Theorin makes a stunning debut in the title role, matched by the commanding presence of Wagner icon Waltraud Meier as Klytämnestra.
