About

Exeter Opera Group presents: Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Sans

Join Exeter Opera Group for a compelling semi-staged performance of Camille Saint-Sans' masterpiece Samson et Dalila, presented in the original French with piano accompaniment.
One of the most powerful and evocative operas in the French repertoire, Samson et Dalila tells the biblical story of love, betrayal and redemption. Set against the conflict between the Israelites and the Philistines, the opera follows the tragic fate of the hero Samson, whose strength and devotion are ultimately undermined by the seductive Dalila. Featuring some of Saint-Sans' most glorious music, including the celebrated aria "Mon cur s'ouvre ta voix" and the exhilarating Bacchanale, the work combines lyrical beauty, dramatic intensity and rich orchestral colour.
This semi-staged production places the focus firmly on the music and drama, allowing audiences to experience the emotional power of the opera in an intimate setting.
Performed by a cast of talented soloists and the Exeter Opera Group Chorus, with piano accompaniment, this promises to be an engaging and memorable evening for opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Experience the passion, intrigue and unforgettable music of Samson et Dalila in this special Exeter Opera Group performance.
