Salomè by Strauss, sab 16 nov 2024, Da (2024/2024), Diretto da Kirill Serebrennikov,, Direttore d'orchestra Tomáš Hanus, Opernhaus, Stoccarda, Germania

By the middle of the 19th Century, the figure of Salome, a woman who enforced her erotic desires by using lethal violence, had developed into both – incarnation of female ferocity and symbol for pure eroticism – in short to the most important Christian-mythological female figure within the world of music and literature. It resembles an ecstatic dance on the verge of a precipice which finally evolved into a symbol of decadence: Until today, the opera has not lost any of its equally fascinating and disturbing power.
