Details:
On Monday 26 May 2025, Kinepolis will retransmit the live production of New York's Metropolitan Opera, Strauss's "Salomé", in Ciné Utopia, Luxembourg-Limpertsberg at 13.45.
The retransmitted screening is part of the "Opera at the Movies" series and will be in the original version with English subtitles.
Synopsis: 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 antiheroine, who demands the head of Jochanaan, sung by baritone Peter Mattei. Tenors Gerhard Siegel and Chad Shelton share the role of Salome’s lecherous stepfather, King Herod, with mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife, Herodias, and tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth.
