Royal Opera House: Salomé

3.0 111 mins Music   Drama   2008
Royal Opera House   Opus Arte  
Director(s): Jonathan Haswell

Release Date: 28 Thu, Feb 2008

David McVicar’s powerful Royal Opera House 2008 production of Strauss's opera – based on a play by Oscar Wilde – takes the controversial and disturbing film 120 Days of Sodom as its visual reference. The action is set in a debauched palace, which has suggestions of Nazi Germany. Strauss’s ravishing and voluptuous score adds to the sexual alchemy that is conjured by an international cast led by Nadja Michael in the title role.
