When Oscar Wilde's "Salomé" was first staged in Paris in 1896, the author was serving a prison sentence in London for "gross immorality". In Great Britain and also in the German-speaking countries, only private performances of the scandal-ridden piece were possible. Richard Strauss attended one of these in 1902 in Max Reinhardt's "Kleines Theater" in Berlin. A year later he decided to base a one-act opera on Wilde's text. The premiere of SALOME in Dresden in 1905 was a resounding success for the composer. In it he challenges the genre: intoxicating and love-drunk music contrasts with the most horrible, monstrous event imaginable.

The opera begins without a prelude and we are catapulted straight into Salome's world. Salome lives in a perfect bourgeois world. She is the daughter of Herodias. She lives with her with her stepfather Herod - a powerful man in a man's world. And he has a very special relationship with his new daughter, the little princess. And she to him. The child Salome grows up in this family constellation. And at night, when everyone else is asleep, she imagines her own world. She takes up the fight with her new father, who intimidates her, who desires her, who plays with her. She wants to conquer this father, this man. She remembers her childhood and she watches herself play: father, mother, child. This is a highly explosive world she dreams herself into. Out of these dark dreams, Salome creates a figure at night, an alternative to the world in which she finds herself. This being is Jokanaan. In the family game he acts as the anti-father, as the weapon against the father, as a redeemer and savior figure. And when day breaks, Jochanaan sits at the table with father, mother and the warlike child. Together with Jochanaan, Salome will disrupt this order.

SALOME is Claus Guth's first work at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Since 1999, when he staged CRONACA DEL LUOGO by Luciano Berio at the Salzburg Festival with great success, he has been one of the most sought-after opera directors in the world. Salzburg, where he staged the “Da Ponte Trilogy” [with Anna Netrebko as Susanna in LE NOZZE DI FIGARO], Bayreuth [THE FLYING DUTCHMAN 2003], Zurich, Milan, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Dresden and the Theater an der Vienna is one of his regular stops, as is the State Opera in the Schillertheater.
