Salome 1925

Salome, daughter of Herodias, the dangerous femme fatale of 14 A.D.
Oscar Wilde's take on her story and the parallel representations he makes with the Judeo-Christian stories (John the baptist,etc.) are unmistakably genius. Richard Strauss's great musical background on the silent film made it magical for audience. Show in Berkeley Hertz Hall, June 12, 2013.
