This concert performance of Richard Strauss 's opera Elektra was given last month as part of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall's International
Series to mark the 50th anniversary of Strauss's death. Racked with implacable hatred for her mother, Elektra is obsessed with avenging the murder of her adored father.
Sarah Walker stars as Clytemnestra, Robert Tear is Aegisthus, and soprano Alessandra Marc makes her live debut in a role she has recorded to great acclaim. Walter Weller brings an authentically Viennese style to the performance. Introduced by Geoffrey Baskerville.
Other parts sung by James Cleverton.
Marianne Vidal , Regina Handley , Collette Ruddy. Fiona Duncan. Helen Lothian. Patricia MacMahon and Carlos Duarte
Royal Scottish National Orchestra Chorus, Royal Scottish National
Orchestra, conductor Walter Weller
