[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] Megabox will exclusively screen the opera "Salome" through its curation brand "Classic Society" until October 21.

The screened "Salome" is a live performance from the world-renowned music festival "Salzburg Festival" and is the first work of the specially planned "Salzburg Festival Exhibition" commemorating the festival's 100th anniversary this year.

"Salome" is a representative opera by German composer Richard Strauss. It is based on the play by Irish writer Oscar Wilde, which is rooted in a biblical story. It depicts the tragic story of King Herod, his stepdaughter Salome, and the contemporary prophet John the Baptist as described in the Bible.

The lead role of "Salome" is performed by soprano Asmik Gregorian. Gregorian sensually expresses Salome's inner conflict, portrayed as the archetype of a femme fatale, through outstanding acting skills and perfect musical interpretation.

World-renowned conductor from Austria, Franz Welser-M?st, conducts the Vienna Philharmonic.

"Salome" will be screened at eight Megabox locations (COEX, Central, Mokdong, KINTEX, Bundang, Seongsu, Masan, Sejong Government Complex). For more details, please check the Megabox website and mobile app.
