Opera de Lyon production of Elektra under Kent Nagano. The house archive (list of operas staged since 1969, https://www.opera-lyon.com/archives/archives-6270df2437ac1) has the single entry "Elektra / Richard Strauss / 96/97 : Kent Nagano, Yannis Kokkos" -- one Nagano Elektra at Lyon, in season 1996/97. Grace Bumbry as Klytamnestra is corroborated independently: English Wikipedia, Grace Bumbry, "Her main operatic career spanned from 1960, her debut in Paris as Amneris, to 1997 as Klytamnestra in Lyon" -- the only Klytamnestra is Strauss/Hofmannsthal, so that is this production, and it fixes the calendar year as 1997 (the second half of season 96/97). Eva Marton (Elektra) and Jeannine Altmeyer (Chrysothemis) come from the filenames and arrival path of the broadcast recording ("ELEKTRA 1997 nn Marton-Altmeyer-Bumbry -Nagano.mp3"), which is a lead rather than a source; both are documented exponents of exactly those two roles (Marton title role under Abbado 1989 and Sawallisch 1990, both in findopera; Altmeyer Chrysothemis per her Wikipedia article) and the folder bills them in the standard Elektra/Chrysothemis/Klytamnestra order, so they are recorded here with that caveat. The files ID3-tag themselves "Elektra 1998", which the 96/97 season and the Bumbry citation both rule out. The arrival path also claims 20 June 1997 at Fourviere; nothing outside the folder confirms the night, so day and month are deliberately left unset rather than guessed. Orchestra written as "Opera de Lyon" to match the house naming already used on findopera recordings 2270 and 2388.
