Salome is an opera in one act by Richard Strauss, based on Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name. The opera is famous for its 'Dance of the Seven Veils' and the dramatic final scene. Set in biblical times, the story revolves around Salome’s infatuation with John the Baptist (Jochanaan) and her tragic pursuit of his severed head. Strauss’s score is a landmark of musical modernism, pushing the boundaries of tonality and dissonance. The opera continues to shock and enthrall audiences with its exploration of taboo subjects.This edition presents the original German libretto, offering readers a chance to experience Wilde’s dramatic vision as interpreted by Strauss, a titan of late Romantic and early modern music. 'Salome' remains a cornerstone of the operatic repertoire, studied and performed worldwide.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
