Theater name: Metropolitan Opera House

Few operas capture the raw intensity and psychological depth of Richard Strauss's Salome. A work that scandalized audiences upon its premiere in 1905, Salome remains one of the most gripping and unforgettable operas in the classical repertoire. This season, the Metropolitan Opera presents a bold new production, bringing fresh vision and artistry to this legendary tale. Under the baton of world-renowned conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Met's new staging reinvigorates Salome with a modern sensibility while maintaining the opera’s haunting intensity.

The story, adapted from Oscar Wilde’s controversial play, centers around Salome, the young and headstrong princess of Judea, whose dangerous obsession with the prophet Jochanaan (John the Baptist) leads her down a path of desire, destruction, and ultimate tragedy. Prepare to be captivated, shocked, and utterly mesmerized.
