Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- For this production of Elektra, the Royal Swedish Opera assembled the same cast as their legendary production from 1965 (available here)
- The aforementioned 1965 production served as Birgit Nilsson's role debut as Elektra, a role that should would dominate for nearly two decades. Nine years later the voice lacks a certain amount of flexibility but she still manages to deliver earth-shattering high notes with astonishing ease.
- Berit Lindholm as Chrysothemis is found at her prime and delivers a performance that far surpasses her earlier outing.
- Barbro Ericson creates a chilling portrayal of Klytämnstra, without ever sacrificing the beauty of her lush mezzo.
Cons:
- None to mention.
