Salome 2019-10-01T20:00:00+02:00 2019-10-01T21:45:00+02:00 <p>Salome, the beautiful adolescent princess, falls in love with Jochanaan, a puritanical prophet dungeoned by her stepfather, King Herodes – but Jochanaan disgustedly rejects her advances. As she dances for him, the lascivious king promises her to fulfill whatever wish. Infuriated by Jochanaans refusal, she demands his head from Herodes. With a heavy heart the king meets her request. When Salome grasps the bloody head on a silver tray, Herodes, horrified, orders her to be executed.</p> Richard Strauss Richard Strauss Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

When he finally reappears, Cio-Cio-San – the mother of his child – realises that he has remarried.

Werther 2019-10-22T19:00:00+02:00 2019-10-22T21:30:00+02:00 <p>Jules Massenet’s <em>Werther</em> is based on Goethe’s famous epistolary novel <em>The Sorrows of Young Werther</em> (<em>Die Leiden des jungen Werthers</em>). The operatic version of this tragic story about the unhappy young Werther, who is driven to suicide by his unfulfilled passion for the married Charlotte, has moved audiences for generations. The opera has a special connection with Vienna, as its world premiere took place to great success at the Wiener Staatsoper in 1892! In the current production by Andrei Serban the story is set in the 1950s. French conductor Frédéric Chaslin, who has a longstanding and close relationship with the house, will lead the performance series in September.</p> Jules Massenet Jules Massenet Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper
