Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explain how the opera Salomé was received in its premier in Barcelona in 1910. Concerning the style of Richard Strauss’s music and the aesthetic tastes shown by the Catalan society of the time, it is easy to understand the great success that the opera by the German composer attained. Such success surpassed, indeed, that of other works premiered on that same year in Barcelona. Different hemerographic sources, with different political tendencies, have been considered in the present study. All those newspapers published a variety of reviews on the opera Salomé, which will tell us how the work had been received in Barcelona.
