This 1974 filmed version of Richard Strauss’s opera Salome stars Teresa Stratas as the titular teenager, delivering a perfectly unsettling performance. She captures Salome’s sensual longing as she tries to win Jochanaan, her venomous rage at rejection, and the manic demand for his head on a silver platter, giving the DVD a standout intensity.
