Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

The princess Salome knows her own powers, and strikes a terrible bargain. Cleopatra rules like a goddess, and dies like a queen. And in ancient Greece, Elektra nurtures a murderous obsession – until, to some of the most shatteringly violent music ever composed, she witnesses heaven and earth rain vengeance upon her tormentors. Tonight, under guest conductor Anja Bihlmaier, the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú SSO encounters incredible women – and none more remarkable than the pioneering 19th century French composer Mélanie Bonis. It’s a gripping contrast to Mozart at his most graceful, as Javier Perianes brings all his charisma and imagination to a concerto that Mozart once played himself. Music simply doesn’t get any wittier - or more lovely.
