Richard Strauss: Salome – full opera (*disturbing)

[Timestamps in description] Richard Strauss’s Salome is a groundbreaking and disturbing one-act opera that redefined the boundaries of musical drama and scandalised audiences upon its premiere in Dresden in 1905. Based on Oscar Wilde’s controversial play of the same name (translated into German by Hedwig Lachmann), the opera delves into the themes of desire, power, and the destructive consequences of unbridled passion, set in biblical times. 00:19 Wie schön ist die Prinzessin Salome (Narraboth, Page, Soldiers) 03:09 Nach mir wird Einer kommen (Jochanaan, Soldiers, A Cappadocian, Narraboth, Page) 05:45 Ich will nicht bleiben (Salome, Page) 07:30 Siehe, der Herr ist gekommen (Jochanaan, Salome, Soldiers, Naraboth, A Slave) 09:05 Jauchze nicht, du Land Palästina (Jochanaan, Salome, Soldiers, Narraboth, Page) 13:05 Lasst den Propheten herauskommen (Salome, Narraboth) 15:40 Wo ist er (Jochanaan, Salome, Narraboth) 24:11 Jochanaan! Ich bin verliebt in deinen Leib (Salome, Jochanaan, Narraboth) 31:08 Niemals, Tochter Babylons, Tochter Sodoms (Jochanaan, Salome) 39:56 Wo ist Salome? (Herod, Herodias, First Soldier) 44:06 Salome, komm, trink Wein mit mir (Herod, Salome, Herodias) 46:54 Siehe, die Zeit ist gekommen (Jochanaan, Herodias, Herod, Nazarenes, Jews) 55:36 Tanz für mich, Salome (Herod, Herodias, Salome, Jochanaan) 59:44 Dance of the Seven Veils (Orchestral Interlude) 01:09:10 Ach! Herrlich! Wundervoll (Herod, Salome, Herodias) 01:13:18 Salome, ich beschwöre dich (Herod, Salome, Herodias) 01:19:53 Man soll ihr geben, was sie verlangt! (Herod, Herodias) 01:21:20 Es ist kein Laut zu vernehmen (Salome) 01:23:43 Ah! Du wolltest mich nicht deinen Mund küssen lassen (Salome) 01:35:13 Sie ist ein Ungeheuer, deine Tochter (Herod, Herodias) 01:36:28 FINALE: Ah! Ich habe deinen Mund geküsst, Jochanaan (Salome, Herod) Set in the biblical court of King Herod, Salome unfolds as a psychological and erotic drama. Princess Salome, captivated by the imprisoned prophet Jochanaan (John the Baptist), becomes consumed by her lust for him. When Jochanaan rejects her advances, she turns to her stepfather, Herod, who is enamored of her and promises her anything in exchange for a dance. Salome performs the infamous "Dance of the Seven Veils," after which she demands Jochanaan’s head on a silver platter. Herod reluctantly complies. In the opera’s shocking climax, Salome kisses the severed head of Jochanaan, reveling in her morbid triumph, before Herod, overcome with horror, orders her death. Strauss’s lush and avant-garde score vividly captures the opera’s intense psychological and emotional landscape. From the opening motif—a swirling orchestral depiction of decadent desire—to the final ecstatic chords, the music is both voluptuous and unsettling. The orchestra plays a central role, providing an elaborate, often dissonant tapestry of sound that mirrors the characters’ inner turmoil. Notable moments include: --Jochanaan’s music, with its austere and devout lines, contrasting starkly with the decadent world around him. --Salome’s vocal writing, which demands extraordinary range and dramatic intensity from the soprano, culminating in her unhinged final monologue. --The Dance of the Seven Veils, a sensuous and provocative orchestral interlude that fuses exoticism with Strauss’s signature chromaticism. Salome shocked early 20th-century audiences with its explicit subject matter and daring score. Critics condemned its perceived immorality, but the opera’s boldness also cemented Strauss’s reputation as a leading composer of his time. Today, Salome is celebrated as a masterpiece of early modernism, bridging the lush romanticism of the 19th century with the fragmented, expressionist world of the 20th. At its core, Salome explores the destructive power of obsession and the collision of spiritual purity with human depravity. Salome herself is both a victim of her oppressive surroundings and a perpetrator of grotesque acts, making her one of opera’s most enigmatic and complex heroines. Strauss’s music amplifies these ambiguities, creating a work that is as viscerally thrilling as it is intellectually provocative.
