SALZBURG: The Easter Festival premiere of Richard Strauss opera Salome with EMILY MAGEE  in the titelrole,

The Berliner Philharmoniker and outstanding international soloists conducted by Sir Simon Rattle is visually and musically a big success for the regissoer Stephan Herheimand the Easter Festival in Salzburg.  

Emily Magee sung the titelrole, Iain Paterson Jochanaan, Hanna Schwarz Herodias, Stig Fogh Andersen Herodes, and Rinat Shaham the Page.

Spite in that there were a lot of buing and too of bravos at the Grosses Festspielhaus in Salzburg. It was a success for the Festival, the whole cast, Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker, and for Stefan Herheim, it sounded extraordinary well,

The Stefan Herheim team has a good visually taste, and since they are making expensive productions for world famouse houses who can afford to pay the equipement, Herheims productions are successfully. Such as the latest ones, his Julius Caesar, Tannhäuser and Lulu, all renewed without spoiling the history, and now this demanding, visually and musically great Salome.
