Product Description

David McVicar's powerful 2008 production of Oscar Wilde's bible based drama takes the controversially disturbing film 120 Days of Sodom as its visual reference, setting it in a debauched palace in Nazi Germany. Strauss's ravishing and voluptuous score adds to the sexual alchemy conjured by an international cast led by Nadja Michael in the title role. Filmed for the big screen with high definition cameras and recorded in true surround sound.


Synopsis

A powerful performance of Richard Strauss' SALOME, an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. Recorded in March 2008 at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London, with conductor Philippe Jordan and with David McVicar directing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding Production, 3 April 2009
By Charles J. Scicluna (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this version of Salome very powerful. The singing is excellent and the tension created is simply extraordinary. The setting, reminiscent of 20th century totalitarianism, renders this masterpiece perennially relevant.
