Salome; Opera North, Sun 22/4/18

[Conchis]

Isn't Wilde's original in French - the English version by Alfred Douglas? Might that have a bearing on the success (or otherwise) of the drama?

The French version is vastly superior but (probably) still unactable in that language. Douglas' version reads like a translation: enough said.

2 harps here in Hull ferney, tuning up as I text. I hope my view is better, so long as nobody tall sits in front of me.

Great anticipation
