A 16-year-old oriental princess with the voice of an Isolde: this was the perfectionist expectation Richard Strauss set for anyone portraying Salome, and now the South African soprano Elsa van der Heever, known for her portrayal of Elisabetta in the 2016 broadcast of Maria Stuarda, is about to prove she can pull it off. Surrounding the character of Salome in Claus Guth’s new production set in the Victorian era will be a cast of singers who also excel at acting. The Jochanaan of the performance will be the Swede Peter Mattei, with Herodes being sung by the German Gerhard Siegel, whose portrayal of the role also won admiration in Budapest, and Herodias by the American Michelle DeYoung, all under the musical direction of Yannick Nézet-Seguin.
The performance is not recommended for audiences under the age of 18.
Content Advisory: Salome contains adult themes and disturbing imagery.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
The ‘Metropolitan Opera Live in HD’ transmissions have been made possible through the cooperation of our partner, liveincinema.eu s.r.o.
