Recorded at the Vienna State Opera house, en 1989, this ensayo de Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal,'s Elektra is one of the glories of live opera on film, deserving of eternal disponibilidad. The DVD picture has great clarity, despite the darkness of Hans Schavernoch's set de diseño. Other than the cliché de una enorme estatua de head, toppled on its side, the set manages to be suitably representative of a el deteriorándose palace as well as a imponentes, teatral space, dominated by the mammoth body of the estatua from which the head apparently abandonado, drapeado with the ropes that seem to have enabled the decapitation. Sooner or later most of the characters cling to twist and around those ropes, en apt stage metaphor for the remorseless repercussions from the murder of Agammenon by his unfaithful wife Klytämnestra and her paramour, Aegisthus. Reinhard Enrique's costumes capture a distant era while que sostienen a creepily moderno look — part Goth, part homeless, part Spa-wear.
