SALOME Strauss - Irish National Opera

- A king who desires his wild and wilful step-daughter. Her erotic fascination with a condemned prophet. Salome is a study in obsessions, with lust and death at every turn.
Based on Oscar Wilde’s play, Strauss’s landmark opera was greeted with shock, horror, excitement, awe, respect, censorship, scandal, condemnation - just the kind of responses that fill theatres and cinemas to this day. The music, sweet, sour, erotic, often dizzily thrilling, has not been blunted by time. This is no overture. A rising arpeggio on the clarinet launches Narraboth into his rapturous vision of Salome and, from there to the end, there is let-up in the intensity and tension of the score. Composed in 1905, Salome is still one of the wildest and most rewarding rides - at times of overwhelming intensity - to experience, and one of the most challenging in the repertoire for the lead soprano. Sinéad Campbell Wallace singing the title role, complete with its 20-minute final aria that moves from animal frenzy to demented erotic yearning. Irish National Opera’s acclaimed new production is directed by Bruno Ravella and conducted by Fergus Sheil.
Full performance streamed on OperaVision from 19 April 2024 at 19:00 CET to 19 October 2024 at 12:00 CET: operavision.eu/performance/sa...

Strauss is always fantastic
I love that these performances are live streamed.
The performance is absolutely stunning! Thank you OperaVision.🌹🥀🌺🌷🌼
Strauss really knows how to build tension. This is glorious.
Thrilling performance, thank you for posting. For a performer it must be so wonderful to receive the acclaim of an audience who clearly appreciate one's efforts.
Outstanding performance, outstanding orchestra, wonderful production. Thoroughly engrossing, and the finale was spellbinding.
What for a grandiose performance. Thanks a lot
Absolutely beautifully played and sung! Thank you so much for the upload: this is one of my favorite operas!
Magistrale interprétation pour une mise en scène sans intérêt mis à part le final.
Strauss demeure le plus grand !
Grands mercis de Marseille pour le partage.❤❤
Outstanding Performance thank you for sharing- loved it
Sinéad Campbell Wallace is one of the most interesting singer in the german repertoire. She was a fabulous Elsa at the Opera Bastille last fall!
Amazing! Thank you, @OperaVision
So amazingly good. Sinead Campbell Wallace really went there. She delineates every moment of Salome's journey.
Absolutely fantastic performance. Engrossing production. Congratulations to all involved!
I was hesitant at first but I ended up loving it. This Salome and Herod were good together.
Outstanding!
Simply spectacular!!!!
wow, thank you, this is great
Superb!
An incredible and captivating performance by Sinéad Campbell Wallace.

Maravilhosa Apresentação, estou assistindo no Brasil - São Bernardo do Campo, meus aplausos...
A cabeça é assustadora! Parabéns!
Wonderful! One of my favourite operas
Very impressive in all departments, Thank you very much
With the exception of the costume and set design, of course.
@@petebondurant58 I don't have an issue with those and I loved the shadow dance.
0:46 - beginning
43:46 - the beating of giant wings
1:00:30 - dance of the seven veils
1:24:08 - the head of Jokanaan!
1:37:08 - the kiss
1:40:40 - ending
Amazing, bloody performance. I do hope the water was warmed up. I'd hate having to sing with cold feet! I am trying to figure out what the suspended tree was all about, though.
Can someone tell me about the concept of this production? I'm having a hard time grasping why the tree is there/why there is water/why Salome gets in the water with Jochanaan.
Only the problem is that Salome sounds like the grandmother of Salome. Such an old voice.
1:00:30 Salome Dance, Tanz
Great singing, mixed feelings about the production. Salome is so dark and brooding. The bare set does not really fit the mood, especially with the artificial lights and clean looking formal costumes.
❤️🇱🇨!!!
I'd love to see a Dance of the Seven Veils where Salome actually dances with seven veils. But versions always seem to put everyone in 20th/21st century garb and have her do a minor striptease that doesn't even end with her briefly nude. This is a mature story; we can handle a little nudity. (And I love veil dancing, so I miss it in stagings like this.)
ireland is catholic i don't think they like nudity.
I could image that now “veil dancing” with a white soprano leads reads to a modern audience as a Middle East parody/characature/appropriation, and, yes the audience can handle nudity, but the leading soprano is at work, taking whatever gigs are available, and I don’t think any opera singer, myself included, trained to sing classical music so that “have to” get naked on stage. I think of the nudity in Salome as simply exploitation of women’s bodies, through the male gaze, and every aspect of it makes me feel very gross and sickened (and I know that that feelings is what is being communicated through opera) and it is a practice I do not want to continue in our modern world (even the first singer of Salome was shocked and refused to do the strip tease). I am actually a fan of burlesque, striptease, and pro-sex work, but when it is a demand of an opera role, in a market where getting work is difficult, I think it is an unlevel ground to put a woman on.
I’ve wanted to express these thoughts somewhere, so here they are. All respect to you and your opinions.
Pourquoi les décors et les costumes de théâtre sont-ils si négligeables?
I'm extremely new to opera (like two days new 😭) and all of these mixed reactions to the set and singing are making me confused as to what is good or bad about the production. I personally am loving so far and I'm about halfway through, but, these comments are muddling with figuring out what parts could be better or are already good and what I should see as bad.
Thank you from Budapest. Sorry for my idiot prime minister.
sorry for my idiot trump
can someone tell me if this salome changes into her birthday suit in the dance so i know if it's worth watching or not.
Non.
Very, very underwheliming “the most sickening chord in all of opera”. Dont understand why the conductors cant milk it a bit more. Otherwise great singing, especially Salome!
According to the opera's libretto, she is supposed to finish the Dance of the 7 Veils naked.
She has a lovely, powerful voice. Sadly to much of vibrato.
Some fine singing (Narraboth, Salome, Herodes),uninspired set and costumes,very boring acting but the most impressive and disgusting Jokanaan severed head I' ve ever seen, congrats to its creators. Thanks for sharing OV.
За такой танец Саломею надо бы в школу танцев послать, а не голову пророка в награду подносить. Я все думала: какие такие покрывала она будет с себя снимать, чтобы остаться - в чем? С большим интересом наблюдала - и где? Танцующее бревно.
Reminds me of Tristan und Isolde’s Bayreuth production some years ago with that centre-stage tree. Awful, cheap, and inaccurate.
Thanks for the live stream! I hate Strauss - ALL of Strauss - but that's just me. I really don't get the sort of 1950s costumes, but whatever.
You are in a tiny minority! Most people at least love the Rosenkavalier trio!
What is the reason to have such an attitude to Strauss ? Harmony is perfect .
They should sing it in English.
