And this time, the director was more fortunate in his casting. In the first installment, the title role is sung by Natalia Rubiś, fantastic in the role, capricious, hysterical, and powerful. Treliński’s conception of the character is that she takes revenge on Herod, her former tormentor, by ordering the death of Jochanaan. It’s a bit twisted, but fortunately, not everyone will think of it while watching. It’s clear that Salome simply wanted to get her way and became obsessed in the process. Rubiś’s role is quite a feat, because from the forte, she needs to build an emotional crescendo, and that’s exactly what happens. (e-teatr)
