Armstrong Theatre at Torrance Cultural Arts Center (Torrance, CA)
If you can’t make it to the San Francisco Opera to see one of their amazing performances live, this is the next best thing. Their Cinema Series features world-class operas that were digitally recorded with multiple cameras during a live performance at the historic War Memorial Opera House. Considered scandalous when it premiered a century ago with its provocative “Dance of the Seven Veils,” Richard Strauss’ adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play has not lost its ability to shock. Set in Biblical times, this erotically charged opera centers on a tangled triangle: the persecuted John the Baptist, a lecherous King Herod and the monarch’s pathologically seductive stepdaughter, Salome. The screening will be presented in high-definition Blu-Ray and stereo sound on a large screen.
