About Samson et Dalila - Royal Ballet and Opera
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.
