"Elektra"
"When Birgit Nilsson ended her performance in Strauss's Elektra last Friday with a flood of incandescent sound, the Metropolitan audience rose its feet and responded with the kind of visceral roar that only a singer of extraordinary qualities can inspire." (New Yorker)
"With Nilsson's intense, overwhelming singing... it was a triumph for her... Leonie Rysanek is one of the few sopranos who can almost match Miss Nilsson note for note. Levine's work was superb." (New York Times)
