With the Met’s 2018–19 season opening with Saint-Saëns’s sumptuous Samson et Dalila, what better way to start our Opera Boot Camp offerings than with an introduction to French opera? In this four-part course, resident Opera Boot Camp instructor Naomi Barrettara offers both newcomers and seasoned operagoers a fun and fascinating exploration of this season’s French operatic masterpieces.
Part 3: Camille Saint-Saëns and His Enduring Masterpiece Today, of more than a dozen operas composed by Saint-Saëns, Samson et Dalila is the only one of his stage works still frequently performed. In this third session, we will explore Saint-Saëns’s career and music and take a closer look at his most enduring operatic masterpiece.
