Samson et Dalila is one of the five most important works of French opera literature. “Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix” is one of the most beautiful mezzo arias ever composed and which belies what a devilish woman this biblical figure Dalila is. She treacherously snatches his secret from Samson and thus brings him down. Your performance, Aigul Akhmetshina!
