Salome (2008 Jordan, Michael / McVicar / @1905 Strauss), London production, video recording (opera)
Salome (2008) is a video recording of Salome (1905 Strauss), opera, with Philippe Jordan (conductor), and David McVicar (stage director).
Abstract
Video recording made at performances in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (3, 6, 8 March 2008).
"Even though Strauss's operatic setting of the tale of Salome is over a century old, it still has the power to shock as well as enthrall. On stage the story has provoked scandal - violence and nudity are inevitably part of its nature. Inspired by the potent combination of themes, David McVicar returns to explore the psychology of its hypnotically degenerate central character. Nadja Michael performs the demanding role of Salome, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House under the baton of Philippe Jordan bring their dazzling orchestral virtuosity to the stunning showpiece score."--Publisher description.
