Desire turns dangerous in Salome.
Princess Salome becomes consumed by her fascination with the imprisoned prophet John the Baptist. When he refuses her, obsession takes hold, spiraling into a shocking demand that will reverberate through a kingdom.
Set to Richard Strauss’s lush, electrifying score, this is a haunting story of lust, power, and prophecy where every glance is loaded and nothing comes without consequence.
