Salome is faceless and the Dance of the Seven Veils becomes a sardonic commentary on seduction in Komische Oper Berlin's austere new staging. 

Komische Oper's re-imagining of Nico Dostal's 1933 operetta makes for delightfully escapist, romantic evening out, while Christoph Marti's superb drag performance of the title role makes it a memorable one.

Malgré la direction décapante de Jérémie Rhorer, cette nouvelle production pâtit d'une distribution globalement peu à son avantage et d'une mise en scène tiède et littérale.
