Tonight - a trip to Lyric Opera to see Deborah Voigt in Salome. I've seen her do a recital of lieder and again as Ariadne (several years ago as one of my operatic birthday treats, as a matter of fact) and now I will get to see her do the dance of the 7 veils... Reportedly, she does not do the full monty, like Karita did in the Met's Salome a few years ago. Chicago audiences just don't do nudity - people flipped out at the thought of some topless extras in Rigoletto last season, and they had to get rid of those scenes entirely.
More to come...
