“The Metropolitan Opera: Elektra”
The great singing actress Nina Stemme gives a heart-wrenching performance in the title role of Strauss’s blazing one-act drama adapted from the ancient Greek myth. Patrice Chéreau’s acclaimed production—the last staging he worked on before his death in 2013—also stars Waltraud Meier as Klytämnestra Elektra’s nightmare-haunted mother Adrianne Pieczonka as Chrysothemis her sister and Eric Owens as Orest their brother whose return home brings their family story to a terrifying climax. Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the monumental and highly influential score.
