Indisputably one of the greatest Salomes of our time, Karita Mattila reprises her stunning interpretation including her unforgettable “Dance of the Seven Veils.” With Strauss’s groundbreaking music magnifying the degenerate atmosphere and building the erotic tension, this is one opera that is as shocking today as it was at its premiere in 1905. Patrick Summers conducts the Metropolitan Opera and Chorus. Originally broadcast October 11, 2008 as part of the Peabody and Emmy Award®-winning Live in HD transmissions to movie theaters. This is a normal DVD and only the special series was recorded live in HD.
