Salome is a dark and provocative opera centered on the biblical story of King Herod's stepdaughter and her obsessive desire for John the Baptist (Jochanaan). Captivated by Jochanaan's purity and resistance, Salome becomes consumed by her longing to possess him. When Jochanaan rejects her advances, Salome manipulates Herod into granting her a gruesome request as her reward for performing the sensual "Dance of the Seven Veils" for him. The opera culminates in a shocking and tragic finale as Salome's desires lead to her own demise. Richard Strauss’ lush, dramatic score heightens the tension and psychological intensity of this gripping tale.
Salome is presented in German with projected English supertitles.Friday, August 15, 2025 - 8:00 pmSaturday, August 16, 2025 - 8:00 pmFriday, August 22, 2025 - 8:00 pmSaturday, August 23, 2025 - 8:00 pm

Union Avenue Opera extends its offerings into the fall with the debut of its One-Act Festival, running October 10 and 11 at 7:30 PM and October 12 at 3:00 PM. This exciting new venture features bold contemporary works in an intimate setting, offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience compact, powerful storytelling from emerging and established composers.
The evening features two powerful chamber operas based on this year’s them of Exploring Identity and Injustice through Opera:
dwb (driving while black) – A gripping one-woman opera exploring the emotional tension, fear, and love of a Black mother raising a son in America. Through music and monologue, it paints a portrait of parenting under the constant threat of racial injustice. Music by Susan Kander with a libretto by Roberta Gumbel.
As One – A groundbreaking chamber opera for two voices and string quartet that follows the journey of a transgender protagonist from youth to adulthood in a deeply personal and moving coming-of-age story. Music and concept by Laura Kaminsky with libretto by Kimberly Reed.
These works offer a bold and intimate evening of opera that speaks urgently to our time. With themes of identity, vulnerability, and the search for understanding, this festival invites audiences into a space of empathy, reflection, and transformation. The 2025 One-Act Festival is made possible by a grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis and the Whitaker Foundation.
