This photo was published in 1987; it is supposed to show Oscar Wilde in costume as Salome. But, in 1992, Oscar’s grandson would confirm the photo (1907) is actually Hungarian opera singer Alice Guszalewicz
in the title role in Salomé
(R. Strauss)
in Leipzig.-
“Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” (Oscar Wilde)
