The genius director Patrice Chreau (From the House of the Dead) didnt live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme"unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner"who portrays Elektras primal quest for vengeance. Legendary mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektras fearsome mother, Klytmnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass Eric Owens are Elektras troubled siblings. Chreaus musical collaborator, Esa-Pekka Salonen, conducts. Sung in German with Met Titles in English, German, and Spanish
