''Salome'' caused renewed controversy when it was adapted into an opera by Richard Strauss. The opera's libretto follows the German translation of Wilde's French word for word (though abridged in some places).

{{tropelist}}
=== This play and opera contains examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Alas, Poor Yorick]]: A supremely disturbing example.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Narraboth loves Salome. Herodes loves (or at least, lusts after) Salome. Salome loves [[Chaste Hero|Jochanaan]]. No healthy relationships here.
* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: Salome does a striptease and asks for the head of Jochanaan.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Parental Incest]]: Technically, Herod is only her stepdad, but that doesn't make the attraction any less [[Squick|squicky]].
* [[Please, I Will Do Anything!]]: Herod tries to dissuade Salome with offers of jewels, peacocks and the sacred veil of the Temple. Salome remains firm in her demand for Jochanaan's head, forcing Herod to concede to her demands.
* [[Talking to Thethe Dead]]: Salome to Jochanaan's head
* [[You Can Leave Your Hat On]]: The Dance of the Seven Veils, though not further described in the text of the play or opera, involves Salome slowly removing her clothing, until she lies naked at Herod's feet.
