It’s clear she follows the Gwenyth Jones school of singing this. Very heavy vibrato (wobble). I guess I prefer Birgit Nilsson with a precise metallic pitch.
Yes it is a terrible wobble. Unfortenately for a rather long time now. Let new "younger" voices take over the scenes. This is not how we, publicum, wants to here Elektra.
I heard her live Electra in Vienna in 2015 - that was marvellous!
You are right. Marvelous is the word to qualify her performance in Wien.
And people criticized Eva Marton's wobble...

Birgit and precise pitch in the same sentence? Lol everything above f was completely off pitch.
That wobble....
People criticize Stemme's "wobble", but have you heard Herlitzius? XD
She has to brace herself for the highest tones, making them a late. Most unfortunate.

I think Stemme should have limited her career to italian repertoire only, like Dimitrova did. Singing Wagner and Srauss was not a good choice for her.
This is not her best rendition.
There are better less pitchy and with steadier high notes.
