If ever the word “immersive” raised a red flag, this would be the moment. Set to the massive, mind-altering sonics of Richard Strauss at his most iridescent, Oscar Wilde’s erotic shocker culminates with the teenage Judean princess Salome mooning over the severed head of John the Baptist. Julia Mintzer, a mezzo-soprano unfazed by a role that leaves the most thrilling dramatic sopranos no place to hide, stars in Thaddeus Strassberger’s new “anti-Zoom” production, which (we hear) involves onstage seating and food service during the show. Okay, so who’s catering? Bon appétit! —Matthew Gurewitsch
