Strauss' Salome: Dance of the seven veils

[@py8554]

Malin Byström was 44 when she did this dance, and she looks much younger there.

The dancer performed in the best way, with smooth and seductive movements at the same time, bravo

[@allenhuug8650]

She's the best dancer among all sopranos, the best soprano among all dancers

[@allisonhunter1063]

Soprano dancer? Unless you mean that she also sings, because dancers aren't called Sopranos. If you are a dancer or ballerina who is the lead role, you are a Principal Dancer.

I love this interpretation. It’s very uncomfortable to watch; a bit like watching seduction! A lot of people are disappointed in no physical veils being dropped, but I can see her dropping her virtues one by one, and supposedly there are seven of those.

[@DavidJJames]

I'm not sure there are seven of either in the actual text of the NT, but people have made up a lot of stories around it.

[@jamessmith5433]

Smart comment Derry

[@allisonhunter1063]

She LITERALLY dropped 7 Veils in the film.

[@jennazureazure2245]

The 7 veils actually represents the 7 chakras. Salome was a priestess and the dance was about their activation in people, generally one at.a time, of the viewer. The meaning has been distorted as being only about sexuality through time.

[@allisonhunter1063]

@@jennazureazure2245 I figured it was the 7 deadly sins lol. Since she (or her mother I think), asked for John the Baptist's head on a silver plate or silver platter, in exchange for Salome performing for King Herod.

[@Hosenrolle1]

Finally a singer who looks good as Salome AND can dance. Unfortunately, the choreography is quite boring and not very inspired or creative, but that´s not the fault of the singer. Also the lighting is boring too in my opinion. Always the same light. I don´t like the choreography and the staging, but I still give this video a thumb up because she is a great Salome.

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

Thank you :)

[@Hosenrolle1]

You´re welcome :) A question: has your orchestra the full size of "Salome", or is it a smaller one? Because Strauss wanted a LARGE orchestra that doesn´t fit into most opera houses. For example, do you use 2 harps? Do you use the Heckelphon, a celesta and an organ (very important for the final scene)?

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

Good question! Our orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, performs with a full size cast with 2 harps, a celesta and an organ included!

[@jeffreycomer1365]

I was there! She is the complete package: actor, dancer and a gorgeous voice.

[@rodolfosune7933]

EROTISMO. Si hay o no velos de verdad no importa. Esto está impregnado de sensualidad y lascivia. Estremecedor.

[@robinceuleers]

Ik weet wel dat de opera zich baseert in de Bijbel en dat het in die stijl zich moet afspelen. Maar het is een beetje gemoderniseerd zie ik, dat is wel het leukste ervan. Hoe het hedendaagse eruit ziet.

Hi, is there a place where I would be able to buy the dvd? Or pay for a stream? Please let me know!

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

No, this production is not available on DVD or stream at the moment.

[@alastaira4315]

I think it's available now, on amazon for example, if you search for Richard Strauss - Salome (2017 Dutch National Opera)

[@joseesteve2096]

I may agree, but i don’t accept criticism from a country that forbid this same opera after premiere. Kind of ironic, too contemporary maybe?

[@שרלילה-ג6כ]

I agree. Nowadays, opera is being destroyed by the contemporary staging. My mom used to be an Opera singer, but she stopped about 15 years ago, and she loved music and performing so much - she stopped because she said that she couldn't take it anymore what opera has become in modern times.

[@xaixaijoaobeloxaixaijoaobe764]

Le compositeur n'a pas été très inspiré sur ce détail musical de danse à part les tambours du départ. Ce Strauss n'avait pas le sens rythmique de la danse, c'est évident. Voilà la raison pour laquelle il est très difficile de faire une "danse" où il n'y en a point, musicalement. C'est la partie la plus ratée et décevante de ce magnifique opéra. Les sept voiles sont symboliques et à chaque voile levé un mystère dévoilé... mystère de l'amour et de la mort, probablement. Rien de cela n'est clair dans cette chorégraphie. D'ailleurs dans aucune chorégraphie de la danse des 7 voiles dans cet opéra. Le problème est déjà dans la musique de base. On n'est pas avec le génie rythmique de Rossini, Offenbach ou des Strauss père et fils (entre autres), on est dans de grandes plages sonores étirées que pour une danse de 7 voiles n'est pas le plus adéquat, ni pour le chorégraphe, ni pour l'artiste qui danse, ni pour le spectateur; seul l'orchestre et le chef d'orchestre tirent leurs épingles du jeu de scène. Dommage! Mais j'adore cet opéra tout en préférant d'autres versions chorégraphiques.
