In this episode about the opera "Salome," we explore everything from body conscious casting to challenging notions of female sexuality. We absolutely love this opera from the gritty surrealist libretto of Oscar Wilde to Strauss' broodingly decedent music. We hope that you come to enjoy this opera "classic" as much as we do.
