5.0 out of 5 stars Sexiest, most decadent Salome on video, March 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Salome [VHS] (VHS Tape)

How do you recreate the effect this salacious opera had on its audience when it debuted more than 90 years ago on today's audiences jaded by MTV, X- and R-rated movies? By playing it to the hilt, which is exactly what Malfitano and Terfel do. THIS is what Salome should be like. Not a concert of beautiful music but a raw experience. The singing and the music under von Dohnanyi are spectacular enough, but it's the drama that comes through. The stuff Malfitano does with Jokanaan's severed head at the end could be worth an X rating...even though she never gets completely naked, as some sopranos do. A body stocking is far enough....
