On the occasion of Richard Strauss's Salome, Siegfried Wagner, the son of the composer Richard Wagner, said the following: »Since when has art been identical with dirt? [...] the demimonde kindly keep to themselves, and you wouldn't dare bring dishes teeming with bacteria, poison of the very worst kind, to a decent table.« He was not alone in this: Gustav Mahler, who had the stroke of genius of the score, failed in his efforts to stage the work after the Dresden premiere in 1905 at the Vienna Court Opera, which he directed: "The presentation of events that belong in the field of sexual pathology is not suitable for our court stage", was the final conclusion of the censor. The sensational Austrian premiere took place under the musical direction of the composer in 1906 in the Graz Opera House, the Vienna premiere took place in 1907 as part of a guest performance from Breslau in what is now the Volkstheater, and it was not until 1918 that the Court Opera followed suit.
