Show Notes
Gerald Barrys Salome: A Dada-Style Spectacle at the LA Philharmonic - The Los Angeles Philharmonic premiered Irish composer Gerald Barrys opera Salome, marking the fourth Barry opera in their Green Umbrella series. The wildly eccentric reimagining of Oscar Wildes tale featured an outstanding cast, including Alison Scherzer as Salome, Vincent Casagrande as the Prisoner, and Timur as King. The chamber orchestra acted as characters, creating unpredictable bursts of raw harmony and melody. Originally planned for 2021, the premiere faced delays and was first staged in Germany. Barry prefers concert versions, allowing the musics imagination to take center stage. The opera lifts pure silliness into a delightful embrace of lifes chaos, offering a fresh, lovable spin on tragedy.
