This musical Achallenge will be taken up by Jonathan Nott at the head of his Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. The dramatic female triangle will be carried by three exceptional interpreters of the German repertoire: the famous Swedish Ingela Brimberg, who excels in Wagnerian and Straussian roles, in the title role. Along her side, the American Sara Jakubiak plays her sister Chrysothemis, and Tanja Ariane Baumgartner brings the mother Clytemnestra to life.
