The Metropolitan Opera: Salome (2025)

Overview

Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story⁠—⁠already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play⁠—⁠a psychologically perceptive Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light.
