Salome: English National Opera
About the Event
Discover the work that set the operatic world ablaze. Richard Strauss' powerful setting of the Biblical story of Salomé fills London's Coliseum with lascivious lyricism and obsessive intent.
Strauss' version closely follows the play written by Oscar Wilde, and the central figure in this intense psychodrama is sung by Allison Cook, a specialist in the music of the 20th Century, who makes an exciting role debut at ENO.
