Richard Strauss based his Biblically-themed 1893 opera Salome on Oscar Wilde’s play of the same title. Strauss’s reconception of this poetic – and scandalously erotic in its time – work written in French while the Irish dramatist was living in exile in France, takes everything to the maximum extreme. With a superb dramatic sense, the composer created a relentlessly paced and extraordinarily weighty music drama that was, at the same time, not devoid of sarcasm. For the first time in history, the sets are reconstructed spaces copied from the original Herodean palace of Machaerus, located in modern Jordan, which was uncovered in excavations directed by Hungarian antiquities researcher Győző Vörös.

The outside world ceases to exist for Salome; she herself fulfils her perverted desires, now that she possesses the prophet’s “body”. Even Herod cannot bear the sight of her sensuous lust. Abhorred by this terrible deed, Herod orders his soldiers to kill Salome, and then the veil of night covers everything...
