About this event
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 massiv 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 ESTIMATED RUNTIME: 3 hours and 55 minutes, with two intermissions Refreshments will be available for purchase at the Coffee Bar, including fresh sandwiches, and are permitted in the theater.
