Summary:

Susan Bullock takes on one of opera's most challenging roles as the title heroine of Strauss's powerful drama, based on the ancient Greek myth of murder and revenge. Deborah Voigt reprises her acclaimed portrayal of Chrysothemis, Elektra's sister, and Felicity Palmer gives a chilling performance as their mother, Klytämnestra. Evgeny Nikitin is Orest, the long-lost brother whose return brings events to a deadly climax, and Wolfgang Schmidt sings Aegisth. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads this massive score

Contents:

Wo bleibt Elektra? Allein! Weh, ganz allein Vater! Agamemnon Elektra!

Ah , das Gesicht! Ich kann nicht sitzen und ins Dunkel starren Es geht ein Lärm los Was willst du? Seht doch, dort! Ich will nichts hören Ich habe keine guten Nächte Wenn das rechte Blutopfer Was bluten muß? Orest ist tot! Nun muß es hier von uns geschehn Wie stark du bist! Nun denn, allein! Was willst du, fremder Mensch? Elektra! Elektra! Orest! Du wirst es tun? Allein? Ich habe ihm das Beil nicht geben können! He! Lichter! Lichter! Elektra! Schwester! Elektra!

Schweig' und tanze!
