# *Salome -* Richard Strauss

Beneath desire, depravity. Beneath lust, bloodlust. Beneath the veils, everything is laid bare. - In ***King Herod’s*** lurid fantasies, lust has no boundaries and desire no limits. Even his own stepdaughter tempts him, taunts him: Salome, the virgin seductress, an innocent with a taste for blood. **Strauss’** taboo-breaking opera strips back **Oscar Wilde’s** play to its core: a gripping journey to the outer edges of human behaviour.

The music is at once ravishing and repellent. **Strauss** augments an enormous orchestra with organ, harps and celestas. The effect is a web of exotic melodies, enticing rhythms and intriguing dissonance, famously on display in the ***Dance of the Seven Veils.*** Heard live, it is an unforgettable experience.

**Lise Lindstrom** is riveting as ***Salome***, finding fragility and nuance in a role that demands a powerhouse voice and gifted actress.

Lust, violence and religious fervor all have their moments in this short, compelling opera about the worst of human nature.
