The MET: Live in HD - Samson et Dalila

Saint-Saëns’s operatic take on the classic biblical story follows Samson, the hero of legendary strength, and Dalila, the seductive Philistine whose beauty overpowers him.

The Met’s larger-than-life production returns, featuring a massive orchestra and chorus and some of opera’s most spellbinding tunes. Mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina (Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Carmen) and tenor Clay Hilley star as the title pair.

CAST Aigul Akhmetshina, Clay Hilley, Quinn Kelsey, Alfred Walker, Morris Robinson
CONDUCTOR Giacomo Sagripanti
DIRECTOR Darko Tresnjak
