Salome Strauss,R

Approved

In 1903, in Berlin, the composer Richard Strauss saw the infamous play by Oscar Wilde "Salome", and he immediately had the idea of an opera. The composer was inspired by the biblical story itself, the fascinating exoticism of the East, the sultry sensuality, the sharpness of the dramatic conflict and, of course, the image of the main character - the Jewish princess Salome. Attracted to Jokanaan (John the Baptist), she performs the frenzy-filled dance of the Seven Veils, for which she demands that King Herod bring her the severed head of the prophet on a platter to kiss her. The score of "Salome" is written with amazing skill: a giant orchestra conveys the finest emotional experiences of the heroine - from admiration to disgust, from the thirst for life to the darkness of death.

The premiere of "Salome" in Dresden in 1905 became a real sensation, and the opera itself was the apotheosis of musical modernity. Together with Claude Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande (1902) and Electrous (another opera by R. Strauss, 1909), it ushered in a new artistic era. "Salome" is an absolutely brilliant work, which undoubtedly belongs to the most significant of the created in our days, "wrote a contemporary and friend of the composer, the great composer and conductor Gustav Mahler.
