STAGE TUBE: Watch Highlights of SALOME Starring Patricia Racette
The iconic production that created a sensation when it was first staged in LA Opera's inaugural season, Salome returns to make its mark on the 21st century, starring Patricia Racette in the role of a lifetime.
BroadwayWorld brings you a first look below!
Adapted from the scandalous play by Oscar Wilde, Salome is a seductively beautiful tapestry of the subconscious. The princess Salome becomes infatuated by her stepfather's prisoner, John the Baptist and she determines to have him...whatever the cost. One of the great singing actresses of our time, Patricia Racette (The Ghosts of Versailles) returns in the title role, with Tómas Tómasson (star of The Flying Dutchman in 2013) as the doomed prophet. James Conlon conducts the epic, opulent score by Richard Strauss, a true orchestral showpiece.
