Filmed live in 1980, this Metropolitan Opera production of Strauss's Elektra features James Levine conducting an all-star cast led by Leonie Rysanek and Birgit Nilsson.

This is one of Nilsson's signature roles and she is arguably the greatest Elektra of all time. Her enormous power and range ride over Strauss' orchestra with ease.

The cast also includes the magnificent Leonie Rysanek as Elektra's troubled sister and Donald McIntyre as Orest.

Bonus material includes Nilsson singing 'Isolde's Narrative and Curse' and a Swedish folksong, plus two radio interviews from different phases of the soprano's illustrious career.

"With Nilsson's intense, overwhelming singing. . . it was a triumph for her...Leonie Rysanek is one of the few sopranos who can almost match Miss Nilsson note for note. . . Levine's work was superb" - The New York Times.
