Review: San Diego Opera Presents Strauss's SALOME at the San Diego Civic Theater
by Ron Bierman - Mar 31, 2025

What did our critic think of SAN DIEGO OPERA PRESENTS STRAUSS'S SALOME at San Diego Civic Theater? Richard Strauss’s eerie and perverse Salome is based on Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name, as adapted by librettist Hedwig Lachmann. Wilde was inspired by the Biblical tale of Princess Salome and John the Baptist, a prisoner of King Herod, her stepfather. In every version of the story, Salome dances for Herod, and he is so pleased with her dancing that he offers her anything she desires. Influenced by her mother Herodias whose marriage to the king had been condemned by John the Baptist, Salome asks for John’s head.
