5: Among the Ancients
With Rodney Milnes. Back to biblical times and beyond with Massenet's setting of Flaubert's Hemdiade, an influential forerunner of Wilde and Strauss's setting of the Salome story, and Thais, the most psychologically penetrating of his operas. Plus a brief taste of his treatment of Elektra before Strauss got his hands on her.
