'ELECTRA' In Concert At The New York Philharmonic 12/4

When her mother and her mother's lover devise the murder of her beloved father, only one thing can ease Elektra's pain and sorrow... Revenge. Come experience this twisted tale of passion and revenue in Elektra - one of the most sensational operas - starring the virtuosic New York Philharmonic and an acclaimed cast.

"A powerhouse voice... Polaski manages this killing part very shrewdly indeed, and that, along with her declamatory force and a frightening golem-like presence, makes her performance an absorbing one." (The New York Times)
