Strauss’s provocative, intriguing Salome, adapted from Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name, tells the biblical story of Princess Salome, who becomes infatuated with John the Baptist, a prisoner in her stepfather King Herod’s court. When she is promised anything she wants by Herod, Salome demands the head of John the Baptist, which Herod delivers to her—at a price. Strauss’s audacious, groundbreaking score is one of the most thrilling and demanding in all of opera. Hearing artists of this caliber ascend its heights is a rare opportunity indeed.

Sung in German with projected translations in English and Spanish.
