In the backstage, it is very commom to see musiciains concentrating for the performance in "Salome."

"Salome's idea had have being created from a meeting in Paris, in 1891, between Wilde and the Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898) - who, in that time, was working about the same subject, Herodíades. With a consolidated literary reputation after the success of The Happy Prince (1888), and having recently published The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lord Artur Savile's Crime and Other Stories, and Intentions, Wilde felt safely enough to risk himself in a new enterprise: a French play, written in one breath."
