Samson et Dalila - Royal Ballet and Opera

Samson et Dalila - Royal Ballet and Opera description

Samson is the leader of his people, rousing them to fight back against their oppressors. But it is his transgressive passion for Dalila that will ignite a conflict with deadly consequences. Where does his extraordinary strength come from? In the battle for faith and loyalty, Samson’s power – both physical and spiritual – are put to the ultimate test.

Artfully composed by Camille Saint-Saëns (The Carnival of the Animals, the Danse macabre), don’t miss Richard Jones’s ‘vibrant’ (The Guardian) production, starring the electrifying Aigul Akhmetshina and SeokJong Baek as the biblical lovers.
