Of her Salome, <a href="/wiki/Harold_Rosenthal" title="Harold Rosenthal">Harold Rosenthal</a> wrote in <i>Opera</i> in 1968: </p> <blockquote><p>Anja Silja's performance was a tour-de-force. Her voice is not beautiful by any stretch of the imagination, but it is clearly projected, and every phrase carries its overtones—psychological not musical—which suggest the child-like degenerate, over-sexed princess in all too clear a manner. Her nervous, almost thin body is never still; she rolls on her stomach and on her back; she crawls, she slithers, she leaps, she kneels….
