The Rest is Noise

The problem with reading The Rest Is Noise by New Yorker music critic Alex Ross is the constant trips to the piano to try'? out such things as his description of Strauss’s five-note, crazy “Salome chord.” But where else are you going to find such a goldmine of knowledge and lore about 20th-century music? It’s [...]

Thread: 5056233302246017513. Post by JonJ

If that opera sent you, I doubt that La Boheme would do much for you. But you might enjoy something like Lulu or Wozzeck. Or Strauss -- Elektra or Salome might tickle your fancy. Certainly not Der Rosenkavalier! The problem with opera for a lot of folks is that most of it is in foreign languages, which they don't have the patience to deal with. But try Peter Grimes (not as violently shocking as...

Salome, Royal Opera House, London Vienna Philharmonic/ Gergiev, Barbican Hall, London

Can Salome still shock? As with Wilde's play, Strauss's opera was once an incendiary succès de scandale: banned in respectable houses and dubbed by a New York physician who attended an open rehearsal "one of the most horrible, disgusting, revolting and unmentionable exhibitions of degeneracy I have ever heard, read or imagined". At its performance in the stuffy city of Graz on 16 May 1906, Mahler,...

Salome, Royal Opera House, London

Royal Opera House, London: David McVicar's new production of Strauss' shocking biblical tale as fleshed out by Oscar Wilde is reset in more recent times. Es Devlin's costumes suggest the thirties, her set some well-used anteroom to the kitchens of a palatial Middle Eastern residence. Read the full review

"Between the necrophilia, the paedophilia and all the other philias, there are quite dull patches": McVicar Does SALO'-me; Strauss And Pasolini Maybe Don't Mix?

OC almost flew up to London for David McVicar's Salome, because we're certified McV fangirls, but we eventually decided against it because of the overlapping of the ROH Salome with Milan's fashion week, and priorities are priorities (also, we were...

Ocean's Salome: Robert Carsen Locks Strauss In A Vault

Robert Carsen, nowhere to be seen these days around Milan since his problematic Candide last season (the one with George W. Bush, Silvio Berlusconi and other world leaders dancing in their underwares that underwent a bit of a rewrite before...

Love and theaters can hurt so good

Boy, am I glad I’m not married to Michael Stern. His way of celebrating Valentine’s Day weekend was to program works about three of music's biggest female nutcases: Wagner’s suicidal Isolde, Martha Graham's murderous Medea and Strauss’ lascivious Salome.

'Salome' role presents both a singing, dancing challenge

The title role of Richard Strauss' "Salome," which the Florentine Opera will present this weekend, challenges the most seasoned soprano. It requires a big, mature voice, which means that a singer in her later 30s or older must impersonate a spo...

BBC Philharmonic / Teatro Regio / Noseda, Bridgewater Hall, London

Continuing his fascinating series of operas in concert with the BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda, its chief conductor, turned to one of the heftiest and most compelling scores, Strauss's Salome. The 14-strong cast from Turin's Teatro Regio, where Noseda is music director, joined forces with his Manchester orchestra, augmented to 107 players, in a performance that highlighted the orchestra's role...

Mattila’s Manon Misses the Mark; Berio’s Vital, Fractured Sinfonia

Nobody who heard Karita Mattila sing the title role of Strauss's Salome on the opening night of the Metropolitan Opera’s 2004 production will ever forget it. That she stripped (briefly) nude at the climax of the Dance of the Seven Veils surely helped fuel the fire, but mainly it was stuff of the performance itself, a heady mixture of fearless vocal fireworks and a daringly sexualized dramatic presence....

best book I wish I’d had in college

I’m just one chapter into Alex Ross‘ magnum opus (so far) The Rest is Noise (Listening to the Twentieth Century). I’m loving it so far, and have learned several things so far that I never knew, but should have at least been aware of, specifically that Strauss’ Salome was not premiered in Vienna, but in [...]
