The one-act opera, "Salome" by the late German composer Richard Strauss will be showing from the 21st of Februry to the 12th of March at the Royal Opera House in London. The opera is about the bewitching Salome who demanded the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver charger after her sensuous "Dance of the Seven Veils" which seduced her stepfather Herod. The story, based on a German translation of Oscar Wilde's French play contains nudity and violence. Under the direction of David McVicar and Nadja Michael as Salome, the opera is sung in German with English surtitles and lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes without an interval.
