Considered the work that would establish Strauss as the leading German opera composer of his time, Salome, in one act to Hedwig Lachmann's German translation of Oscar Wilde's play, was first performed in Dresden at the Hofoper on 9 December 1905.

"With the colourful, chromatic Salome he found a new, modernist voice for the stage, one that resonated throughout a Europe preoccupied with the image of the sensual femme fatale. Within a year of its 1905 Dresden première, this succès de scandale had been performed in six German cities as well as Graz, Prague and Milan, and its fame quickly spread throughout Europe and the USA." Bryan Gilliam and Charles Youmans in Grove Music Online.
