Princess Salome has life served on a silver platter. She is desired by men and used to having her own way. But there is one man she cannot have, for he cares only for God. Salome desires the imprisoned and deeply religious John the Baptist. The more he rejects her, the more obsessed she becomes. Kung Herod, Salome's stepfather, is also obsessed - by his stepdaughter. He promises her whatever she wishes, if only she will dance for him. Salome dances and then names her price. The head of John the Baptist on a plate.

A dysfunctional family, forbidden desire and two young lives will be served up on a silver platter when Richard Strauss' brutal opera Salome, based on Oscar Wilde's play, has its premiere on 30 November 2013. Director Sofia Jupither makes her operatic debut after a string of Theatre productions that have garnered much attention and acclaim, such as Ibsen's Ghosts at the Stockholm City Theatre (2010) and Lars Norén's Fragmente Folkteatern in Gothenburg (2012). In the title role, we will see the world renowned and award winning soprano Nina Stemme.
