Salome is an opera in one act by German composer Richard Strauss, first performed in 1905. The work is based on the play of the same name by Oscar Wilde, which in turn is inspired by the biblical story of Salome, the princess of Judea who asks for the head of John the Baptist as a reward for dancing for King Herod. This complete recording of the opera features the Hamburg State Opera Orchestra conducted by Karl Böhm, and a stellar cast including Gwyneth Jones, Mignon Dunn, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
