3. Salomé in Richard Strauss’ ‘Salomé’ (1905)

Herod is in love with his cruel and perverse niece Salomé; but she lusts after John the Baptist, who is not really interested in her, to be fair. The only way she can get John to give her a kiss is to have his head served up to her on a silver platter, ruining any long-term prospects for a relationship. Maleficent rating: five. Deborah Voigt is pictured as Salomé in the Lyric Opera of Chicago's production, October 2006.
