Description
Enjoy closing night with an Orchestra, Row K view of the new production of Camille Saint-Saëns?s biblical epic.
Following triumphant performances in Aida and Adriana Lecouvreur earlier this season, mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili gives a ?commanding ? exhilarating? (New York Times) performance as the seductive Dalila, opposite tenor Gregory Kunde, who sings Samson with ?strong, focused tone and ? genuine nobility? (New York Times). Darko Tresnjak, who won a Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical in 2014 for A Gentleman?s Guide to Love & Murder, makes his Met debut directing a vivid staging of Saint-Saëns?s biblical epic, featuring a monumental setting for the last-act Temple of Dagon, where the hero crushes his Philistine enemies. Sir Mark Elder conducts the first new Met production of the work in 20 years.
