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. |

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago |

Long known as one of the most original forces in dance, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago celebrates its 40th anniversary with a long-awaited return to Wharton Center! A true audience favorite, the ensemble will showcase a night of works that perfectly represent its past, present and future. Opening the performance is Robyn Mineko Williams’ boldly ingenious Cloudline, and then two works by legendary choreographer Nacho Duato: Violoncello, an enthralling duet where a cello comes to life as a dancer, and the celebrated Jardi Tancat, based on Spanish folk tales with a charming, yet passionate, portrayal of three couples and their enduring spirit in the face of adversity. The performance also includes Alejandro Cerrudo’s Niebla, a masterful mix of powerful dance and lighting wizardry, and closes with the great choreographer William Forsythe’s One Flat Thing, reproduced – a thrilling adrenaline rush that is wondrous in its sense of rhythm and flow. |
