Netopil Samson et Dalila

Samson et Dalila presents the biblical tragedy of a man undone by love and desire. The Israelite hero Samson, blessed with supernatural strength, leads his people against Philistine oppression. Yet when the seductive Dalila enters his life, she becomes an instrument of his enemies' vengeance. Torn between his divine calling and his passionate love for the woman who enchants him, Samson finds himself betrayed at the moment of his greatest vulnerability. Stripped of his power and imprisoned, he faces a final reckoning that transforms his apparent defeat into an act of redemptive sacrifice. Saint-Saëns' masterwork explores the collision between duty and desire, faith and flesh, through music of extraordinary sensuality and dramatic force.
