Salome

Based on Oscar Wilde’s scandalous one-act play, Salome has captivated audiences for over a century. Now, Lyric Opera of Chicago presents Sir David McVicar’s decadent production—a "gory thrill ride" set in the shadows of pre-war fascist Italy. International sensation Elena Stikhina stars as the teenage femme fatale whose obsession leads to a deadly end, performing alongside Lyric favorites Brandon Jovanovich and Tanja Ariane Baumgartner.
