It’s not often you hear an opera described as “controversial.” Salome’s risqué plot (based on the story from the Bible) earns the descriptor, while its beautiful music and extremely cool set design earn it (and the Houston Grand Opera) 5 gold stars from Starstruck! #Starstruck #Video #Podcast #Arts #Entertainment #Houston #Review #Opera #Salome #HoustonGrand Opera #Bible #Music https://youtu.be/kv5B7jO8NWg
Thanks for joining me for this episode! I’m a former professional theater critic and lifelong theater & arts fan. I’m also an attorney, run an HR Consulting company called Claremont Management Group, and am a tenured professor at the University of St. Thomas. I’ve written several non-fiction political commentary books: Bad Deal for America (2022) explores the Vegas-style corruption running rampant in Washington DC, while The Decline of America: 100 Years of Leadership Failures (2018) analyzes – and grades – the leadership qualities of the past 100 years of U.S. presidents. You can find my books on Amazon, and me on social media (Twitter @DSchein1, LinkedIn @DavidSchein, and Facebook, Instagram, & YouTube @AuthorDavidSchein). I’d love to hear from you!
