Reminds me of the Onion headline, “Unconventional Director Sets Shakespeare Play In Time, Place Shakespeare Intended” – what is it with these directors who think they know more than the composer (or history, for crying out loud)?
I see no need for Edna “Salome” Turnblad…
As far as I read the job description, this has nothing to do with an actual Salome-production. They seem to plan a series of drag queen performances where every one presents their own concept of the opera’s final scene (with music play back) in the context of a congress on gender and opera, but not in the context of a staged opera performance.
So all those of you who always see the end of opera coming up when Wotan wears a suit, please preserve your ammunition for other occasions.
I’m voting for Conchita
Make that two votes! 😉
While not really a drag queen, Michel Fau would give it a bit more class than Conchita.
Any winner from North America will need to travel the high Cs on the HMS Raging Queen!
