理查·施特劳斯的《莎乐美》(Salome)是部极具争议的著名歌剧,毁誉参半,评说不一。1905年首演者德国女高音维蒂希(M.Wittich)最初曾拒演,理由是“我是良家妇女”;维也纳一直禁演此剧,1918年才解禁;美国则要求删去所有的圣经人物的名字,先知约翰的头颅要以一碟果冻来代替,否则不准公演;在英国,1907年审查官禁止此剧上演,1910年才在伦敦首演。尽管如此,理查·施特劳斯则以这部《莎乐美》征服了20世纪歌剧舞台,成为歌剧史上最震撼的一部歌剧。
Salome, Richard Strauss, is a controversial famous opera with mixed reviews and comments. The first soprano of 1905, M. Wittich, the German soprano, refused to give a speech on the grounds that “I am a good woman”; Vienna had banned the play until it was lifted in 1918; and the United States requested the deletion of all The name of the biblical figure, the prophet John’s head to be replaced by a plate of jelly, otherwise not allowed to perform; in Britain, the censors banned the play in 1907, 1910 was premiered in London. Despite this, Richard Strauss conquered the 20th century opera scene with this “Salome” and became one of the most dramatic operas in opera history.
