About this event
The Music
The story of Salome has fascinated artists, writer and painters for centuries. Richard Strauss’s version of this anti-heroine comes from a drama by Oscar Wilde. Both play and opera scandalised society, and even today the opera has a visceral power with its combination of lust, religion and disturbingly gory ‘love-song’, and its sensuous, shocking music.
The Performers
Star soprano Asmik Grigorian powerfully portrays the troubled Salome, while Sir Antonio Pappano and the LSO lean in to the drama of this astonishing work, in a concert performance that places the full spotlight on the music.
