SALOMÉ De Richard Strauss (ÓPERA)
2, 4, 5 Y 6 DE JULIO SALOMÉ de Richard Strauss (ÓPERA) Reparto Gun-Brit Barkmin, Ángeles Blancas, Thomas Moser, John Easterlin, José Antonio López, Ana Ibarra, José Manuel Montero, Mireia Pintó, Carlos Martos y Arantxa Sagardoy Coreografía Víctor Ullate Dirección musical Orquesta de Extremadura Álvaro Albiach Dirección de escena y escenografía Paco Azorín 11 Celebración 150º Aniversario de Richard Strauss (1864-1949) SALOMÉ Ópera en un acto Música de Richard Strauss Libreto del compositor, basado en la obra teatral homónima de Oscar Wilde traducida por Hedwig Lachmann Estreno mundial en el Teatro de la Corte de Dresde, 9 de diciembre 1905 El misterio de la música es más grande que el misterio de la muerte Sin duda alguna, Salomé es una obra genial, poderosísima y, en todo caso, una de las óperas más importantes de nuestros días. Gustav Mahler (1907) La historia bíblica de la decapitación de Juan el Bautista ha fascinado a lo largo de todos los tiempos, como lo prueba la gran cantidad de pintores que la han inmortalizado en sus lienzos. Sin embargo, a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX ha sido cuando más eco se ha hecho de ella, no sólo en la iconografía sino también en la literatura y en la música. La ópera SALOMÉ es buena muestra de ello. Richard Strauss (1864-1949) asistió a una representación de la obra teatral, escrita por Óscar Wilde (1854-1900), y ese mismo día decidió componer una ópera, protagonizada por la princesa de Judea y con la luna como telón de fondo. La luna, en oposición al sol, es el astro de la noche, de la sensualidad, de lo onírico y de lo salvaje.

Annual Report 2011–12 3 Introduction
ANNUAL REPORT 2011–12 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 7 2011–12 Season Repertory & Events 14 2011–12 Artist Roster 15 The Financial Results 38 Patrons Introduction The Metropolitan Opera’s 2011–12 season was marked by an impressive string of artistic successes, while the company continued to address a challenging financial situation in ways that wouldn’t affect the high quality of productions. The company presented seven new stagings during the 2011–12 season, including the final two installments of a new Ring cycle, the Metropolitan Opera premiere of Donizetti’s Anna Bolena, and the world premiere of a new Baroque pastiche, The Enchanted Island, conceived by the Met. All seven new produc- tions, along with four revivals, were presented in movie theaters around the world as part of the Met’s Live in HD series, which has enabled the Met to assume a global leadership position as a provider of special cinema content. The Live in HD series continued to be a money-maker for the Met, earning $27.1 million. Combined earned revenue for the Met (Live in HD and box office) totaled $121.5 million. The 2011–12 season once again brought together the finest singers, conductors, directors, designers, choreog- raphers, and video artists in the world. Such extraordinary directors as Robert Lepage, Phelim McDermott, David McVicar, and Laurent Pelly returned to create new productions, with Michael Grandage and Des McAnuff making directorial debuts with the company. The culmination of Lepage’s new Met Ring cycle was the talk of the opera world, and the new Baroque pastiche The Enchanted Island, devised and written by Jeremy Sams, represented a remarkable new creative endeavor.
