Salome

By Richard Strauss

First published 1905

**Salome**, Op. 54, is an opera in one act by Richard Strauss. The libretto is Hedwig Lachmann’s German translation of the 1891 French play *Salomé* by Oscar Wilde, edited by the composer. Strauss dedicated the opera to his friend Sir Edgar Speyer. The opera is famous (at the time of its premiere, infamous) for its "Dance of the Seven Veils". The final scene is frequently heard as a concert-piece for dramatic sopranos. (Source: Wikipedia)
