There were projections above the stage of some of the action, and the production was very much about opening the work up. We prefixed things with a powerful speech from Baumgartner's Klytemnestra, a justification immediately after her killing of Agamemnon. Things never quite lived up to this strong opening. Warlikowski gave us a lot […]
