Salome (opera)
''Salome'', Op. 54, is an opera in one act by Richard Strauss to a German libretto by the composer, based on Hedwig Lachmann's German translation of the French play ''Salomé'' by Oscar Wilde. Strauss dedicated the opera to his friend Sir Edgar Speyer.
The opera is famous (at the time of its premiere, infamous) for its "Dance of the Seven Veils". The final scene is frequently heard as a concert-piece for dramatic sopranos.
==Composition history==
Oscar Wilde originally wrote his ''Salomé'' in French. Strauss saw the play in Lachmann's version and immediately set to work on an opera. The play's formal structure was well-suited to musical adaptation. Wilde himself described ''Salomé'' as containing "refrains whose recurring ''motifs'' (emphasis ) make it so like a piece of music and bind it together as a ballad".
Strauss composed the opera in German, and that is the version that has become widely known. In 1907, Strauss made an alternate version in French (the language of the original Oscar Wilde play), in which language there is a history of its being presented. The world's most famous proponent of the role, Mary Garden, sang the opera in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Paris, and other cities in that language. Soprano Marjorie Lawrence sang the role in both French (for Paris) and German (for the Metropolitan Opera, New York) in the 1930s. This version is much less well known today, although it was revived in Lyon in 1990,〔Kennedy, in Holden, p. 889〕 performances of which were recorded by Kent Nagano with Karen Huffstodt in the title role and José van Dam as Jochanaan.〔(Recordings of the opera on operadis-opera-discography.org.uk )〕 In 2011, the French version was staged by Liège Opera, starring June Anderson.
