MET: Samson Et Dalila

*recorded live DECEMBER 5

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.

ESTIMATED RUN TIME: 3 HRS 35 MINS (TWO INTERMISSIONS)
