Salome

A royal dynasty in disarray. Lust and death at every turn. The king desires his step-daughter, a beautiful, wild princess. She desires a prophet held captive and strikes a deadly deal. An erotic dance in exchange for whatever she likes. One of Richard Strauss’ most compelling operas, based on the Oscar Wilde play, the music, sweet, sour, sensual, frenzied, often dizzyingly thrilling, has not been blunted by time. Salome is still one of the wildest and most rewarding rides you can experience in an opera house.
