Director’s Notes by WILLIAM FLORESCU
Saint-Saëns’ opera, which began life as an oratorio, presents challenges to a stage director - how does one make this piece dramatically gripping and real without resorting to contrived David & Verne Takagi dramatic devices that neither the score nor text call for? salute the The answer, I believe, lies in trusting the composer’s inherent dramatic bent, which is present in all of his music. Hawaii Opera Theatre If one is familiar with his Organ Symphony or piano concertos, it is immediately in its 45th season, apparent that his musical idiom is dramatic at its core. The dancing elements of inspiring us with works Samson are dramatically gripping, and the opening confrontation with Abimelech, of the highest caliber and the doomed temple scene also provide plenty of dramatic possibility. But the "hidden" dramatic possibilities of the score really reside in the tension that exists in and helping to make scenes where things are about to happen. Dalila’s various temptations of Samson Honolulu the are a classic example of how the operatic form freezes a moment in time and then artistic center comments and expands upon the situation. of the Pacific. Opera allows for this convention in a way that no other medium does. Because of this device, we as an audience have time to closely observe Samson’s struggles between the carnal and the sacred in a most riveting way. In most Biblical epics, INVESTMENT AND INSURANCE OFFICES OF the canvas that the dramatic action plays out on is usually quite large, and this TAKAGI &TAKAGI opera certainly has those moments as well. But one could make the argument that Two Waterfront Plaza here (as in Verdi’s Aida), the most important moments of the opera are quite 500 Ala Moana Blvd., Suite 301 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 intimate. Even at the point where Samson, with God’s help, brings down the (808)523-6840 FAX: (808) 531-2399 Property & Casualty Insurance temple around his tormentors, we have the feeling that we are sharing a very offered through John H. Connors Agency private moment for Samson. This point is brought home even stronger with the Securities offered through Royal Alliance Associates, Inc. introduction of the young child who leads him to his and their doom. So, Member NASD/SIPC returning to the original point, the stage director merely needs to trust Saint-Saëns and this very timely story to make this piece unfold as the opera that it truly is.

Hermes.com The Story of Synopsis...

ACT I. Palestine, 1150 B.C. In a square in Gaza, a group of Hebrews beg Jehovah for relief from their bondage to the Philistines; Samson, their leader, rebukes them for their lack of faith. When the Philistine commander, Abimelech, denounces the Hebrews and their God, Samson kills him and leads the Hebrews away. The High Priest of Dagon comes from the Philistine temple and curses Samson's prodigious strength, leaving with the slain man's bier. An Old Hebrew praises the returning Samson. The outer walls of the temple disappear to reveal Samson's former lover, the Philistine woman Dalila, who invites him to come that night to her nearby dwelling. She and her maidens dance seductively for Samson, who becomes deaf to the Old Hebrew's dour prophecies.

ACT II. In the vale of Sorek, Dalila calls on her gods to help her ACT III. ensnare and disarm Samson, promising the High Priest to In a dungeon at Gaza, the sightless Samson pushes a find a way to render the hero powerless.
