Opera: Samson and Delilah
The Bible and opera merge in “Samson et Dalila” by Camille Saint-Saëns, a work full of passion, hate, seduction and exoticism. The story of the Hebrew General Samson, seduced by his enemy Philistine Delilah, hides a moral fable about chastity and lust that inflames the hearts of the spectators. The duel between a man with the appearance of titan and a woman who ruins him by cutting his hair, a symbol of his strength. Nancy Fabiola Herrera and Gregory Kunde are also a high-voltage operatic couple at the height of such a duel. Watch the new production by the Teatro de la Maestranza on the 14th, 16th and 18th November at 8pm. Buy your tickets here.

De Profundis Show
