Description:

Director Herbert Wernicke met an untimely death in the prime of his career. You can now fully appreciate Richard Strausss *Elektra*one of his signature worksthrough its overwhelming music and staging, which perfectly convey the pieces appeal. His sharp insight into the work, even within its simplicity, and his satirical approach to the modern opera world have lost none of their relevance. This production by the Bavarian State Opera was brilliantly revived at the Baden-Baden Festival under the baton of Thielemann, featuring a stellar cast of singers.Nippon Columbia
