SaintSaens - Bacchanale (Samson & Dalila)

Basé sur l'épisode biblique de la séduction de Samson par Dalila, c'est le seul opéra de Saint-Saëns encore inscrit au répertoire.
The opera is based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah found in Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. It is the only opera by Saint-Saëns that is regularly performed. The second act love scene in Delilah's tent is one of the set pieces that define French opera.
