The lurid biblical story of John the Baptist, King Herod, and Herod’s precocious stepdaughter became an operatic hit in 1905 with Richard Strauss’ Salome. The lecture presents an earlier musical version of this character, la Figlia in Alessandro Stradella’s oratorio San Giovanni Battista (1675), and considers the reasons why femmes fatales ruled the operatic stage in the seventeenth no less than in the late nineteenth century.
