There are no separate arias per se in Strauss's Salome. The libretto is almost word-for-word taken from Oscar Wilde's stage play of the same title. Strauss's score is continuous from beginning to end, even moreso than Wagner's operas. The final scene of the opera, beginning with the presentation of Jokanaan's (John the Baptist) head on a silver platter, is sometimes excerpted for dramatic sopranos in concert, but even then it's simply titled the Final Scene.
