SAMSON AND DELILAH at Civic Theatre

The Bible’s Samson and Delilah returns to the Civic Theatre stage in a production described by The North County Times in 2007 as “…one of the most memorable San Diego Opera productions of the past decade (with) stunning and gargantuan sets, vivid lighting, gorgeous costumes, an erotic ballet and a seeming cast of thousands…”

Physically strong though he is, Samson cannot repel the advances of the seductive Delilah. Urged on by the High priest of Dagon she makes him reveal the source of his strength, his hair, which she cuts, rendering him powerless. Captured, blinded, Samson calls on God for forgiveness, destroying the temple and all within it, including the treacherous Delilah.
