Stage Director Bruno Berger-Gorsky

The French composer C. Saint Saëns (1835-1921) wrote SAMSON and DALILA in 1877. He was a major figure in French music life in the second half of the 19th century, writing music that most people found available.

The opera was originally intended as a biblical oratorio. It is based on the old story of SAMSON and DALILA, from the Book of Judges, chapter 16.

An eternally current opera about power and powerlessness, love and hate, about faith and hopelessness, and about perhaps man's strongest driving force - jealousy.

English

Den franske komponisten C. Saint Saëns (1835-1921) skrev SAMSON og DALILA i 1877. Han var fransk musikklivs store skikkelse i andre halvdel av 1800-tallet, og skrev musikk som folk fleste fant tilgjengelig.

Operaen var opprinnelig tenkt som et bibelsk oratorium. Den bygger på den gamle fortellingen om SAMSON og DALILA, fra Dommernes bok, kapittel 16.

En evig aktuell opera om makt og avmakt, kjærlighet og hat, om tro og håpløshet, og om menneskets kanskje sterkeste drivkraft, – sjalusi.
