Ms. Knutson Berka appears as Salome in Haymarket’s presentation of Maria Margherita Grimani’s 1715 Oratorio, La decollazione di San Giovanni Battista. At the feast of Herod, the beautiful princess Salome requests the head of John the Baptist as a punishment for insulting her mother Herodias. Haymarket’s virtuosic vocal and instrumental soloists bring Grimani’s feverish tale of bloodthirsty revenge to life in the work’s modern premiere.
