Is Salome a victim of circumstance, or the destroyer of empire? Mezzo-soprano and one opera’s philosophical fug girls Perri DiChristina joins us to dive head-first into Strauss’s fin-de-siècle shocker. Additional topics include: Greta Thunberg and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Oscar Wilde’s moodboard, and why John Pierpont Morgan sucked.
