Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts his first Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story—already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play—a psychologically perceptive, Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light. Headlining the new staging is soprano Elza van den Heever as the abused and unhinged heroine, who demands the head of Jochanaan, sung by celebrated baritone Peter Mattei. Tenor Gerhard Siegel is Salome’s lecherous stepfather, King Herod, with mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife, Herodias, and tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth. The story of this incendiary and powerful opera is derived from a brief biblical account: A young princess of Judea dances for her stepfather Herod and chooses as her reward the head of the prophet John the Baptist. This subject captured the imaginations of generations of visual artists, but its full possibilities were perhaps best realized in Oscar Wilde’s 1891 tragedy (which was banned from performance in several countries). Strauss’s score combines the grandeur of Wagner’s epics with the focus and emotional punch of the short ...

Join us at 5:30pm on Tuesday, April 29 at The Community Library in Ketchum. This event is your opportunity to learn more about the proposed levy, ask questions, and help shape the future of recreation in Blaine County. The Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) is proposing a permanent override levy that would provide long-term funding to maintain its recreation resources and plan for the future. The levy would provide an additional $3 million in tax funds for BCRD’s use. Blaine County voters will decide on November 4. Come to this open house to learn more about the proposed levy, ask questions, and help shape the future of recreation in Blaine County. What’s the Challenge? Since BCRD’s founding in 1976, Blaine County’s population has tripled, increasing the use and demand for our programs and facilities. Yet our funding model has not changed. With rising demands and increasing operational costs, our current funding is no longer keeping pace. Additional investment is critical to sustaining and expanding these essential recreational resources. BCRD’s current funding model is challenged to keep up with growing community needs and operational expenses. Without sustainable funding, BCRD will have to make tradeoffs or cut programs and resources that serve the ...
