Salome

Mon 18 Jan - Sat 6 Feb

In the seething atmosphere of King Herod’s palace, everyone becomes entangled in a web of desires. Together with the Netherlands Philharmonic, conductor Lorenzo Viotti brings the magnificent Strauss score to life.

When Princess Salome becomes obsessed with the imprisoned prophet Jochanaan (John the Baptist), a game of seduction, power play and manipulation begins that leads to the downfall of all.

Richard Strauss based his opera on Oscar Wilde’s sensual play of the same name. Strauss builds up the tension masterfully to a devastatingly cathartic finale that is as bloody as it is beautiful.
