Gorgeous interpretation. One of the most gracious sopranos I have ever had the pleasure to meet! What a delightful video! Thank you so much for posting :)

Fantastic. Such drama and stage presence.
Would have loved to see Ancient Greek costumes here though...

It doesn't get better than this! Brava Ms Behrens!

When I sing this aria, and let me tell you, it's so much fun to sing, I always think of this performance. The best part is the very last line- the emphasis she puts on that... Such beautifully powerful music, what intense orchestration, shakes you to your core...

must be hard to fall over in a corset like that

It's funny, I have heard people put this performance down, but I find it riveting. Her voice is strong, bright, and angular...and there is a long tradition of casting Electra with a Wagnerian singer. She gets tried towards the end, and what soprano doesn't?

The combination Behrens/Ponnelle/Levine...coul
