@15platinum Hmmm.....I'm hoping that you haven't intentionally lumped belly dancing in with 5$ lap dances. They are in no way related...

@doctorw2 see frederica von stade in rossini's la cenerentola.

They couldn't play it for 2 more seconds and FINISH IT????!!!!!

@15platinum it is highly distasteful to put bellydance and lap dance in the same category.

this is the most beautiful opera singer i have ever seen.

Look at the eyes of Herodias when watching her daughter dance that way: She doesn't know how to react. She is almost ashamed but nevertheless she knows about the intension....

What bothers me about this dance scene: it's supposed to be a dance of seduction. This isn't seductive at all. Personally, I blame the choreographer. The only remotely sensual aspect of it is the removal of the veils. Yes, it's a part of an opera, & it's a 36-yr-old woman attempting to play a 16-yr-old girl, & the cast of characters are all bat-s*&# crazy, but true sensuality hasn't changed much in the past 1000 years. This is some wacky '70s choreographer's acid-trip version of allure.

Dear Ravel: Sorry for the misspelling of Ms. Stratas' name. I appreciate your pointing out the error and will refrain from making the mistake again. I still, however, simply adore the music and the fabulous voice of Ms. Stratas.....she is sensational and I have ordered this dvd to go with the Birgit Nielsson version. Again, thank you.

@parzifal40 stratus? stratas!
Do you twitts even know what it is you are looking at???
This is not belly dancing!
This is not a $5 lap dance!
This is part of an OPERA!!!!!
This is a 36 yrs old OPERA singer playing the role of a 16 yr old CRAZY girl who in the next scene will make out with the severed head of John the Baptist!
Yes it's crazy, yes it's macabre. IT"S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!!!

Don't insert comment if you don't know what you are talking about. She IS crazy! Read up on the story, Oscar Wilde's play, NOT the biblical Salomé. Wilde changed it around.
