face=Arial>Samson was one of the Old Testament’s most colourful characters. His
hair and his betrayal by Delilah have inspired many great works. Scottish tenor
David Hamilton sings the title role in this thrilling work which includes such
justly famous arias as Total Eclipse as Samson laments his blindness and Let the
Bright Seraphim a jubilant duet for soprano and
trumpet.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></FONT></DIV></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
