Saint-Saëns’s spectacular take on the biblical hero of legendary strength and the seductive Philistine
whose beauty overpowers him returns in the Met’s larger-than-life production. Featuring a massive
orchestra and chorus and some of opera’s most spellbinding tunes, this masterpiece is a feast for the eyes
and ears. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts an electrifying cast led by the formidable star pairing of mezzo-
soprano Aigul Akhmetshina and tenor Clay Hilley, transmitted live to cinemas worldwide.
