Opera: Salome
by Richard Strauss
Teatro alla Scala, Milan 2020-03-08 ... 2020-03-27
The Package
Music trip to Milan for 3 days / 2 nights with exclusive program. The highlight is a visit to the famous Teatro alla Scala on the second evening to experience a magnificent performance in a world-famous environment with global stars.
With Roberto Saccà as Herodes, you will hear one of the best-known and best-loved tenors of our time. With Malin Byström starring as Salome, he has a worthy partner on stage. Richard Strauss has composed this opera in just one act. He cut down the libretto that was based on a play by Oscar Wilde to get to the essence of the dramatic structure.
The full orchestra will be there as well. The performance takes just 1 hour 40 minutes. There is no intermission. The lyrics of the opera will be displayed in original language (German) and in English.
The 3 day city trip includes the hotel in your selected category, a gourmet dinner on the evening of the first day, a private walking tour of the city with a guide in your language, a visit to the La Scala Museum, premium tickets for the selected event at the Teatro alla Scala, and an aperitif before the performance. The schedule and program have been well accepted by our clients and we receive many compliments. However, should you wish to adjust the program, to maybe have a different private sightseeing tour or rather spend the day shopping, add an excursion to Lago di Como, an excursion to Cremona to the Stradivari Museum, then please let us know. The itinerary can be customized to your needs.
The Story
This opera by Richard Strauss tells the story of Princess Salome. She was pretty and knew about it. Men give her everything she wants, even the chopped off head of Jochaanan. The story ends as it should.
With just one hour and forty minutes, there is still enough time to wash down the taste of blood in the mouth in a nice bar near the theater after the show.
