The definitive Delilah of our day, Olga Borodina has been praised by Allan Ulrich in the San Francisco Chronicle for her "gloriously voluptuous singing." The Russian mezzo-soprano reprises her seductive performance as the tantalizing temptress in an eagerly awaited revival of Saint-Saëns' biblical epic. Tenor Clifton Forbis, whose powerful voice has thrilled audiences from Vienna to Los Angeles, plays the Old Testament hero loses his heart, his hair and finally his strength. Patrick Summers returns to the San Frnacisco Opera podium to conduct the lavish production.
