No monsters of depravity for Waltraud Meier, thank you. The German mezzo-soprano takes a very different view of the Greek queen Klytemnestra than the one usually seen in Richard Strauss’ ”Elektra.”
Patrice Chéreau did not live to see his final production, Strauss’s “Elektra,” come to the Metropolitan Opera, where it will open on Thursday.
