  • From which year is this?

  • I'm not sure, but about 1985

  • who is Elektra in this production?

  • Ingrid Bjoener

  • Astrid Varnay is less a voice more a force of nature....an act of God....I heard she still does cameo roles in Munich...anyone know if this is true....

  • Unfortunately no, she passed away sept.4, 2006 in Munich at the age of 88, ironically the same day as Ingrid Bjoener, who is the Elektra here. Her last performances were in 1995.
