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.
