Salome transports audiences to the palace of Herod at Tiberias, Galilee (Judea), c. 30 A.D. Salome will be performed in German with English supertitles.
According to AtlantaOpera.com:
“A psychological thriller draped in lust, incest, power, and seduction, Salome is the twisted tale of a depraved tyrant, his bewitching stepdaughter, and her unholy infatuation with John the Baptist. First transported from Mark’s Gospel to the world’s stage by Oscar Wilde, the opera Salome scandalized the music world into the 1930s, and continues to captivate with its sublimely rich musical tapestries.”
According to MetOpera.com:
“With Strauss’s groundbreaking music magnifying the degenerate atmosphere and building the erotic tension, this is one opera that is as shocking today as it was at its premiere in 1905.”
