Virginia Opera: Samson and Delilah
October 7, 2017 at 8:00 pm
October 8, 2017 at 2:00 pm
Virginia Opera opens its 26th season with the epic French opera Samson and Delilah by Camille Saint-Saëns, dramatizing the well-known Biblical story of a legendary Israelite warrior (Samson) who is seduced and then betrayed by a Philistine woman (Delilah). The final act features the famous “Bacchanale,” a showpiece where pleasure-seeking Delilah leads a feverish dance to tempt Samson. Paul Curran masterfully stages this passionate opera featuring acclaimed tenor Derek Taylor (Samson) and talented mezzo-soprano Katharine Goeldner (Delilah). Though it was not performed for 15 years after it was composed due to its sensual subject matter, Samson and Delilah is one of the most frequently performed French operas today. Sung in French with English supertitles. |

| Boulder Philharmonic: Music of Resistance |
|
|
We explore the intersection of art and politics in a program of three works by composers with definite points of view. Shostakovich’s thrilling 5th Symphony was a bold (if somewhat veiled) rejection of Stalin’s totalitarianism. Britten’s Ballad of Heroes suggests that failing to take a stand is equivalent to acquiescence. And Beethoven praises music as the tonic to tame our propensity for aggression in a work that foreshadows his famous Symphony No. 9. Metropolitan Opera tenor Matthew Plenk is joined by Boulder pianist David Korevaar along with the combined choral forces of CU and Western Illinois University. |
