description Hérodiade Overview
Hérodiade is a four-act French opera by Jules Massenet, with a libretto by Paul Milliet and Henri Grémont, first performed in Brussels in 1881. It reworks the biblical story of John the Baptist, Salome, Herod, and Herodias, portraying Salome as an innocent young woman who loves the prophet rather than as the calculating dancer familiar from other versions. The score employs large ensembles, ceremonial choruses, lyrical arias, and the expansive staging associated with French grand opera.
