He was the first Lenz in Wolfgang Rihm's Jakob Lenz at Hamburg State Opera and starred in Rihm's Die Eroberung von Mexiko, Manfred Trojahn's Enrico, Aribert Reimann's Das Schloss (he was K) and Jörg Widmann's Das Gesicht im Spiegel - the latter two at the Munich Opera Festival. Salter died in Karlsruhe, the day before starting rehearsals for Britten's Death in Venice. He had been cast as Kepler in Philip Glass's new opera about the astronomer, opening next autumn in Linz and at the Brooklyn Academy.
