Samson et Dalila, live from the Met

Saint-Saëns's grand opera relayed live from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, with Aigul Akhmetshina as Dalila and Clay Hilley as Samson. Sung in the original French and subtitled in English as well as Hungarian, and screened again the next evening for anyone who misses the live night.

About the event

Darko Tresnjak directs the Met's production and Giacomo Sagripanti conducts, with Quinn Kelsey as the High Priest of Dagon, Alfred Walker as Abimélech and Morris Robinson as the Old Hebrew. Hilley is making his company debut. Alexander Dodge designed the set, Linda Cho the costumes, Donald Holder the lighting and Austin McCormick the choreography. Müpa shows the live relay in both the Festival Theatre and the Auditorium, with the encore in the Auditorium alone. The screening runs about four hours with two intervals, and reaches Budapest through Müpa's partner liveincinema.eu.
