About SALOME(opera)
Unknown authorUnknown author
Richard Strauss’s *Salome* is a one-act opera drawn from Oscar Wilde’s play, following a princess whose fixation on the prophet Jochanaan turns desire into violence and ritualized spectacle. Long controversial for its frank psychology and compressed intensity, the piece became a reference point for early 20th-century modernism. In New York, it entered the repertory through the Metropolitan Opera’s early-1900s staging, part of the city’s ongoing debates about art, morality, and censorship. At BASEMENT, the title is reframed as an electronic/DJ event with Markus, Dr. Rubinstein, Mike Servito, Rose Kourts, and Jen Cardini shaping long-form pressure and texture.
