The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is set to present a concert staging of “Elektra” on March 18 and 21, 2020 at Pool and Birmingham.

The concert, which will be led by Kirill Karabits, Chief Conductor of the orchestra, will feature British soprano Catherine Foster in the title role.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to have been invited by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra to sing, not only a favorite role of mine, on returning to the UK, but combining that with the city and stunning Symphony Hall where it all began for me as a BMus student at the Royal Birmingham conservatoire makes this something very special,” stated in a press release.

She will be joined by Susan Bullock as Klytamnestra with Allison Oakes as Chrysothemis, and Andreas Bauer Kanabas as Oreste. Geertje Boeden will direct the performance.

“In order to perform this complex and visceral score you need an orchestra at the top of its game, and I have no doubt that the BSO will be able to deliver. After our huge success with ‘Salome’ two years ago, ‘Elektra’ will be a highlight of the season,” Karabits added in the press release.
