About this event
Adapted from the Oscar Wilde play of the same name, Salome has been thrilling and shocking audiences since its premiere in 1905. And it's easy to see why: a biblical story complete with a lecherous king, a willful princess, and an unyielding prophet is bound to get attention. Add in a power struggle, a dangerous obsession, and a dance that scandalizes audiences to this day, all set to Strauss's iconic music, and you're in for a wild and gripping performance. An exhilarating one-act tragedy, this production is brought to life with sets by award-winning designer Leslie Travers and some incredible voices; Grammy-nominated Brenda Rae will dazzle with her "tireless golden soprano" (Bachtrack) in her title-role debut, and Chad Shelton promises to bring his "thrilling tone and technical precision" (Opera News) to the role of King Herod.
