Amazon.com: Salome / Lot in Sodom (1923): DVD Charles Bryant's SALOME is a gaudy, glittering, fantastical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play of the same name; his `historical phantasy' of the Jewish princess who danced and demanded as payment the head of John the Baptist. Given that much of the original play's power is in Wilde's language, SALOME suffers from translation to silent film--the title cards are often awkwardly long, and in general fail to convey the tone of Wilde's voice; moreover, the convolutions of the original have been necessarily simplified for the silent form. The accompanying LOT IN SODOM is related to SALOME only in the sense that it too has a Biblical theme. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009Q4W9?v=glance   (2664 words)

UEA, EAS, Undergraduate Unit, Representations of Women in Opera and Drama Comparing play or story with opera, or play or opera with film, etc., consider how any one of the works studied on this course has been transposed into another artistic medium. With reference to at least TWO plays by different dramatists, consider how in practice the theatre might be seen to construct an image of the actress in roles designed specifically for the gaze of a male spectator.

Salome's Last Dance movie for sale In a candle-lit Victorian brothel, Oscar Wilde sips champagne as pretty prostitutes enact his latest play, "Salome." As Salome performs her Dance of the Seven Veils in exchange for the ruin of John the Baptist, life begins to imitate art and the story becomes a mirror of the life of its author. Oscar Wilde wrote the play "Salome" in French. This was possibly due to the family's dissatisfaction with a previous Russell "Salome" project -- a program called "The Dance of the Seven Veils" which the BBC banned in 1969. www.1stvideo.com /data/ID/1018108/TAN/1/ReleaseChoice.html   (608 words)

Opera - Strauss' "Salome": Its Arts And Its Morals The music of Salome," then, judging it in its entirety, is deficient as an exposition, as a translation into tone, of the drama upon which it is based; for it is inadequate in its expression of the play's central and informing emotion. For the only ground upon which it might be remotely possible to ac-count for Salome's remarkable behaviour, except by regarding her as a necrophilistic maniac, is that sup-plied by the conditions and the environment of a lustful, decadent, and bloodshot age. One quarrels with the music of the final scene of Salome " on the broad ground of its inappropriateness: because the emotional note which it strikes and sustains is one of nobility, whereas the plain requirement of the scene, of the psychological moment, demands music that should be anything but noble. www.oldandsold.com /articles06/opera-48.shtml   (2329 words)

Calder Publications - ENO Opera Guide 37 - Salome/Elektra 'Salome', based on Oscar Wilde’s notorious play, has a kaleidoscopic range of orchestral colour and a lurid climax in ‘The Dance of the Seven Veils’ - an episode which has challenged generations of sopranos to dance as well as sing. Despite obvious similarities - both operas consist of one Act, centred upon one female title role - the articles included here reveal that the operas are really quite different in subject and treatment. Richard Strauss, already known for his wonderful orchestral tone-poems, projected his genius at the turn of the twentieth century to opera, and this Guide contains the texts and introductions to his first two masterpieces in what was, for him, a new genre. www.calderpublications.com /books/0714541311.html   (317 words)

Richard Strauss and Salome It is fitting that Strauss was the man who transformed Wilde's Salome -- the text of which features the attempted seduction of John the Baptist (Iokanaan) followed by Salome's unprecedented passionate post-mortem kiss for the prophet -- into opera; both Wilde and Strauss were criticized widely for unconventionality in their works. Pater's Appreciations (1889), in which he read that a play "attains artistic perfection just in proportion as it approaches that unity of lyrical effect, as if a song or a ballad were still lying as the root of it." [Pater asserts] the primacy of the lyric over dramatic writing. If many, including Lord Alfred Douglas (Wilde's lover and the translator of the English edition, the original having been authored in French), were surprised to see Wilde's version of Salome performed on stage, Strauss's opera must have seemed appropriate given the lyricism of the text. www.victorianweb.org /mt/strauss.html   (342 words)

PlaybillArts: Features: Salome Revealed The Seven Veils of Wilde's Salome have become fixed in her legend as if they had always been there, because Wilde's hints about the sinister power of sex beneath the veils of innocence and civilization were the truths his society was ready to believe. From Salome, the phrase slipped into common parlance as if it had always been there--partly because it symbolized the fashionable obsession with the femme fatale, but also because Wilde was a poet, and the event, and the actors, and the props, did boast mythic roots. It has a different meaning for the principals--where Herod is aroused, Salome is using her newfound sensuality to avenge the loss of her innocence and the frustration of her first passion. www.playbillarts.com /features/article/51.html   (2067 words)

Amazon.com: Richard Strauss - Salome / Dohnanyi, Malfitano, Terfel, Royal Opera House Covent Garden: DVD Malfitano in my opinion is the most gifted artist to ever play the role of Salome; her dramatic ability, dancing and voice are unparalled. Gorgeous soprano Cathy Malfitano delivers a tour de force performance of Salome which graphically depicts the Hebrew princess's journey from curiosity, through infatuation, and culminating in insanity in her amorous pursuit of the ultimate party pooper John the Baptist. The look of this Salome is symbolic and expressive, and if you're into modern interpretations this is for you. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000068UXG?v=glance   (1518 words)

[EMLS 9.1 ([May, 2003]: 2.1-22 Elizabeth Cary's Mariam and the Critique of Pure Reason "I think with more than reason she laments," says Alexandra to Salome, at once berating Mariam and initiating a play-long meditation on the meaning of reasonable conduct: "Who is't will weep to part from discontent?" (1.3.215-17). Notwithstanding differences of sex and intention, let alone ontological status, Chillingworth and Salome share a fundamental position, in Cary's outlook and that of her daughter Lucy, as embodiments of the familiar archetype of the white devil or "painted sepulchre" (e.g. Still more importantly, given the aggressive presence of Salome, we are sceptical that Mariam could have been "free from fear" if only she had refrained from speaking so openly (3.3.250). www.shu.ac.uk /emls/09-1/hamlcary.html   (5866 words)

Salomé (1923 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The movie was adapted by Natacha Rambova (as Peter M. Winters) from the Oscar Wilde play. Salomé is a 1923 film which tells the story from the Bible of how Salomé seduces her stepfather/uncle, King Herod Antipas, with a dance, in order to gain the head of John the Baptist.

StreetSwing's Dance History Archives - Salome Dance Page - Main1 Oscar Wilde's play "Salomé" was banned in England and later reproduced in Paris by Sarah Bernhardt in 1894, then later a performance of Salomé was in 1896 in Paris at the de l'ceuvre theater. That's not all though, later in Salome's life as she was crossing the frozen river of Sikoris, she fell through the ice in such a manner that her body floated in the water while her head stayed above the ice. It might be added that the "Salome Dance" is still considered indecent to the extent that it has been barred from the theaters of many cities of this country and other countries". www.streetswing.com /histmain/z3salome.htm   (621 words)

Seminar Lou replayed and varied this founding episode in such fictions as Fenitschka, Jutta, and Ruth, and in her personal relationships. Thereafter, in a resolute counter-reaction, the notions of Father, God, faith, and a spiritual, withdrawn, sublimated, ultimately narcissistic love remained fused for Lou (50), as suggested by her declaration (in Eroticism) that “At the supreme moments, a man can play only the role of the carpenter with respect to Mary, devoted to her God” (156). It is not surprising that her union with Friedrich Andreas was chaste; Pastor Gillot married them, in the same church where he had confirmed her, in a ceremony marked by Gillot’s homily on a text from Lou’s own novel Im Kampf um Gott (97). www.humanities.ualberta.ca /seminar/display.cfm?ReviewID=59   (621 words)
