Regents Opera presents: Salome, by Richard Strauss

Following the resounding success of its Ring Cycle in 2025, the UKs leading fringe opera company, Regents Opera, returns to York Hall in 2026 with a bold new staging of Richard Strauss explosive masterpiece Salome , conducted byBen Woodward [https://www.benwoodwardconductor.com/biog-en] and directed byMark Ravenhill.

With two sensational casts led by Eleanor DennisandKirsty Taylor-Stokes, and performed in the historic East End home of British boxing, Salome will be one of the most unusual operatic experiences of the year.

Set in a surreal East London underworld, Salome is reimagined as a darkly comic feast dripping in gangland glamour. The audience will step into the world of King Herod where they will witness the grisly, seductive unraveling of one of operas greatest female characters.
