MET OPERA: SALOME
Cast: Elza van den Heever, Gerhard Siegel, Michelle DeYoung, Piotr Buszewski, Peter Mattei, Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Director: Claus Guth, Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Genre: Music
Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story—already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play—a psychologically perceptive Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light.
