Samson and Delilah Selected Scenes

Selected Scenes form San Francisco Opera's 2007 production of Samson and Delilah. Featuring mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina as Delilah and tenor Clifton Forbis.

One of the most compelling Biblical tales to emerge from the Old Testament comes to life in this sweeping epic of a hero who is seduced by a woman and loses his heart, his hair and finally his strength. This riveting opera features lush music and one of the most thrilling bacchanalian dance spectacles ever conceived for the stage. Make no mistake, this production is a Cecil B. DeMille-like extravaganza. Tenor Clifton Forbis brings down the temple (and the house) in this sumptuous production featuring Russian mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina and conductor Patrick Summers.
