ELEKTRA A THOUGHT

There is some powerful music by Richard Strauss, and some fabulous performances in Elektra[last night's opera at the Met] but I found this adaptation of a Greek myth a distant and uninvolving work.
The stage direction by David Kneuss is remarkably able, and sets by Jurgen Rose are wonderfully effective, but even with all that is good in this production, I found Elektra to be a remote and unsatisfying work.
