Saint-Saens - 'Samson et Dalila'

[sprinkleeninow]

"My heart at thy sweet voice."

1. What a lovely voice.

Ah, love is blind.

But the opera brings the house down every time.

2. I had an inkling....YOU might. An' you did❣️

[usonian]

6. Some arias and other pieces really get to me.

This one is "Super OTW" as DeKoven would say on his radio show.

Mon cœur s'ouvre à cet air.

Besides, I got in two opera jokes.

Samson is blinded and tears the temple down.

3. It's a great opera.

So for the opening of the bacchanal, you have that solo that everyone knows (or should).....pretty much every Oboe player I've ever know says that the solo is "a racial slur for the oboe".

I find that so funny!

[sprinkleeninow]

4. I'm not that well equipped in my understanding, but I will take your expert word❣️

5. I can hear it but I am short of racial slurs.

I seem to have this guardian angel that keeps me out of trouble.

And some fun, looking back at past ...
