:: Samson et Delila- Florida Grand Opera
Where: Broward Center for the Performing Arts(Aurene Theater)
Time: 8:00 PM
Saint-Saens' operatic masterpiece of the Old Testament story provides a sweeping, atmospheric musical tableaux of the ancient middle east, and contains some of opera's most famous music, including Dalila's great seduction scene. Samson succumbs and gives and gives up the secret of his great strength. Newly shorn, he is taken captive by the Philistines and blinded, but when he is brought into a celebration where the Philistines and Dalila mock him, he prays for strength one last time. Performed in French with English translations.

American mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves makes her Florida Grand Opera debut as the legendary tempress, following her triumphant Metropolitan Opera performances in the same role. Florida City native tenor Jon Villars, who has earned international accolades in some of opera's most demanding tenor roles, joins her as Samson.
