ichard Strauss: Salome
Ensi-ilta Suomen Kansallisoopperassa 18.3.2022

Salomen ensiesitys 1905 teki hetkessä Richard Straussista oopperasäveltäjän, jonka nimi oli kaikkien huulilla. Aikansa kohuooppera ihastutti ja tyrmistytti uskonnollisuutta ja erotiikkaa uhkuvalla aiheellaan ja uudenlaisella sävelkielellään. Nyt, yli sata vuotta myöhemmin, on aika etsiä tarinaan uusia näkökulmia.

Musiikki: Suomen kansallisoopperan orkesteri ja kuoro

After Salome’s world premiere in 1905, Richard Strauss became an opera composer whose name was on everyone’s lips. Sensational in its time, Salome was received with both wonder and shock, thanks to its theme combining religion and eroticism and its groundbreaking musical language. The one act opera is one of the most powerful and intensive representations of the genre of all time.
Christof Loy’s novel approach to the classic work
When director Christof Loy debuted at the Finnish National Opera with Tosca in 2018, his production was acclaimed by critics and the audience alike. Now the award-winning director has made an equally ravishing interpretation of Salome.

”Richard Strauss’s life and work reflect a special understanding and affinity for complex female characters. The opera is typical of its time in the way it explores sexual traumatas. Now, more than a hundred years later, it’s time to seek new angles to the story.

My aim was to set Salome free from the Lolita-like clichee of the girlish femme fatale of the fin de siècle, and to rather see in her a ‘dove that has strayed’, as Narraboth describes her. She takes us on a journey that questions gender and sexuality, initially dressed as a young man, maybe to protect herself, maybe in jest. Oscar Wilde meets Virginia Woolf.”
