Swedish soprano Malin Bystr枚m takes the title role in Richard Strauss鈥檚 decadent one-act thriller based on Oscar Wilde鈥檚 scandalous play. Salome was first performed in Dresden in1905 but the combination of the biblical and the erotic lead it to be banned in London by the Lord Chamberlain's office until 1907. Conductor Edward Gardner and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra return to the Edinburgh International Festival, following their acclaimed Peter Grimes in 2017, to paint a compelling picture of a court awash with desire and death.
