Salome Live from the Met Opera at LPCA

Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Strauss’s one-act tragedy, transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas worldwide.

Leading the company’s first new production of the work in 20 years, Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story a psychologically perceptive Victorian-era setting. South African soprano Elza van den Heever leads a celebrated cast as the abused and unhinged antiheroine, with Swedish baritone Peter Mattei as the imprisoned prophet Jochanaan; German tenor Gerhard Siegel as Salome’s lecherous stepfather, King Herod; American mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife, Herodias; and Polish tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth. Part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
