Fun Fact: you cats would probably read Oscar Wilde’s Salome’s John the Baptist as describing the world once Jesus is come to be like a rose blossoming. In the original, French version, the world is said to be like an opening lily.

Now I’m really regretting not seeing Salome. The one thing I found disappointing about Rigoletto was how banal the libretto was — but apparently the libretto for Salome is mostly word-for-word from the German translation of Wilde!
Crap!
That would’ve been awesome!
