More details
The story of Salome has fascinated artists, writer and painters for centuries. Richard Strauss’s version of this anti-heroine comes from a drama by Oscar Wilde. Both play and opera scandalised society, and even today the opera has a visceral power with its combination of lust, religion and disturbingly gory ‘love-song’, and its sensuous, shocking music.
