The last time of R. Strauss' Salome metropolitan scene was 20 years ago. The wonderful tragedies of one act of the orchestra's music and the complex Aryt of Aryan this time have been taken by one of the most famous European theater and opera directors, the vocalist Claus Guth. The biblical history of Judea King Herod Podukra, Princess Salome, who demands the head of John the Baptist, already passed through the wild imagination of Oscar Wilde, Mr Guth moves to Queen Victoria's era. Psychological insights, pronounced symbolism and subtle moral nuances give the work a new breath and open the interpretive spaces that have not yet been explored.
One of the most complex and most challenges in the entire huge opera repertoire - Salome - this time the soprano from South Africa Elza Van Den Heever is taking on. Together with her on stage, we will see Swedish bariton Peter Matte (Jochanaan, or John the Baptist party), a tenor from Germany Gerhard Siegel (King Herod) and US mezzo -michelle deyoung.
Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Performers: Elza Van Den Heever, Michelle Deyoung, Gerhard Siegel, Piotr Buszewski, Peter Matte.
Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes (no break)
