And, speaking of debuts, this is the first time in San Diego Opera's four-decade history that the company has presented Saint-SaêŠns's biblical extravaganza.
Samson et Delila receives two more performances: tonight at 8 p.m. and Sunday (February 25) at 2 p.m. at the Civic Theatre in downtown San Diego. (Both shows are sold out.) More details about the production and the company are available at www.sdopera.com.
