Description:
If you do not know the artistry of Maria Cebotari, prepare yourself for a revelation. She is without doubt one of the greatest Salomes in the history of opera. Her voice is both alluring and powerful, and she navigates the treacherous role with effortless abandon. It is beyond tragic that she died at the age of 39—just imagine the Elektra, Isolde, and Brünnhilde that could have been. Although Elisabeth Höngen was indisposed during this performance, she still took part by speaking her lines over the music, preserving the dramatic continuity of the role.
