Richard Strauss
»Salome«, reduced version for violin, piano and subtitles by Mathieu van Bellen and Mathias Halvorsen
Description
A biblical case of toxic love: Princess Salome desires the ascetic prophet Jochanaan (John the Baptist). Because he wants nothing to do with eroticism, she resorts to drastic measures. Mathieu van Bellen and Mathias Halvorsen have reduced Strauss’ opera to its essence: The result is an intensive chamber play in which the violin and piano virtuosos embody an entire opera ensemble.
