Sexy. Subversive. The ultimate femme fatale. Like an earthy spirit of decadence, her song blows the civilised sensibilities of the world apart.

Richard Strauss’s Salome caused a sensation when it premiered in Europe in 1905. It has been shocking and enthralling audiences ever since. Now Gale Edwards, who thrilled audiences with her edgy and brilliant La bohème in 2011, directs a new production of Richard Strauss’s explosive one-act opera, with sets by Brian Thomson and Johannes Fritzsch conducting.

And who will play Salome?

Who else, but one of the world’s leading interpreters of the great Strauss heroines, Cheryl Barker, recreating a role she first sang to great acclaim at London’s English National Opera. With her is the magnificent Peter Coleman-Wright as Jokanaan and a grand ensemble cast to people the court of Herod.

An Opera Conference co-production.

Performed in German with English surtitles.
Running time: Approximately one hour and forty minutes-no interval.
