The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was first performed at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels on 19 December 1881.
- The libretto is a retelling of the story of John the Baptist, Salome, Herod Antipas and Herodias, but is strikingly less psychological and bloody than Richard Strauss's Salome, which is based on a text by Oscar Wilde.
- The opera premiered in Brussels because Auguste Vaucorbeil, Manager of the Paris Opera house refused to stage the work, "I do like your music," he had said to Massenet, "but as for the libretto, you badly need an author who knows how to build the skeleton of a play." Massenet also created a ballet suite derived from the opera.
Why it is Common
