Samson et Dalila

Samson et Dalila is a grand opera in three acts and four scenes featuring a French libretto. The production is based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah from Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. As a regularly performed work, its second act love scene in Delilah's tent serves as a defining set piece of French opera. The production features well-known arias, including "Printemps qui commence" and "Mon cœur s'ouvre  ta voix," which is a popular recital piece in the mezzo-soprano and contralto repertoire.
