Metropolitan Opera: “Samson et Delila”

From the Met:

“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.

Giacomo Sagripanti conducts an electrifying cast led by the formidable star pairing of mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina and tenor Clay Hilley, transmitted live to cinemas worldwide.

This live cinema transmission is part of The Met: Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe. English StreamText captioning is available for the Met’s transmission of Samson et Dalila here.”
