Richard Strauss: Salomé
The ultimate femme-fatale opera, Strauss’s Salomé includes
incest, suicide, murder, dismemberment and the most notorious
striptease in opera, "Dance of the Seven Veils." The
fin-de-siècle audience members at the premiere in
1905 experienced a shocking gore-fest that would have been
considered an NC-17 rating today. Beyond the sensual and
seductive music, Strauss created a masterpiece of lyric theater,
audacious harmonic adventurism, and daring musical eroticism.
Discover why Salomé has danced before the imaginations
of European painters, sculptors, poets, and composers for
1,000 years. Click
