Dunn is magnificent in this performance, you can’t see her here but she is portrayed as very pretty. I like it when Klyta is portrayed as a beautiful lady that looks more like Elektra’s sister and not some haggard old horror, a real “rival” to Elektra as opposed to some cartoon character. Birgit, even as late as 1980 casts a very large impression. And it’s fun to watch Rysanek as well

The set for this was genius. I used to think Nilsson was a rather ridiculous actress but now I think she was one of opera's best.

I can see Callas in this role. I wonder what she would have done with it. What a shame. She could have combined the vengeful Armida with the evil of Lady Macbeth.

Elektra u mean? with 3 secs of melody in 2 hours of opera? (Agameeeemnooon, Agameeeemnoooon...) No way :D Ariadne perhaps. Callas loved Recitativi but in between of Arias :D
