An engaging conversation about visual art and its effect on lyric theatre with Dr. John Marciari, Ph.D., Curator of European Art, and Dr. Nicolas Reveles, Director of Education and Outreach for San Diego Opera. The biblical story of the cunning princess Salome and the beheading of John the Baptist has inspired a plethora of bloody and suggestive works of art. What ties these pieces together? Why are artists attracted to the juxtaposition of the horrific and the erotic in their works?
