He is now back in the National Opera after the success of La Bohème last season. Based on Oscar Wilde's play about Emperor Herod's stepdaughter Salome, taking the Opera out of desire, fear, superstition and frustration. He is the father of Herod and Herodias ' tense relationship is going out when Salome erupts out of their role as dutiful daughter and puts words on Herod's lust. So she conquers the patriarchal universe and puts its destructive forces. Here explored the relationship between it and to be considered.

Both what the voice range and dramatic power as one of the opera Salome is literature's most demanding soprano roles. American Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs Debuts here in this role, with his vocal virtuosity and his intense stage expression.
