Camille Saint-Saëns Samson et Dalila
Saturday, December 5th at 12pm

Samson et Dalila is sung in French.
The run time is approximately 3 hours and 35 minutes, including two 40-minute intermissions. Sacred, scandalous, and irresistibly alluring, Saint-Saëns’s spectacular take on the biblical hero of legendary strength and the seductive Philistine whose beauty overpowers him returns in the Met’s larger-than-life production. Featuring a massive orchestra and chorus and some of opera’s most spellbinding tunes, this masterpiece of French grand opera is a feast for the eyes and ears, with an electrifying cast led by the formidable star pairing of mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina and tenor Clay Hilley, who makes a notable company debut.
