SAMSON ET DALILA:Saint-Saens
Original Air Date: 12/26/1964
Prêtre; Thomas, Dalis, Bacquier
SID.19310533
This is the broadcast from the first season of the new production; Gorr had premiered the production triumphantly (I was there), but the two debutants Bacquier and Pretre were also of high quality. Thomas despite cutting a nice stage figure really wasn’t up to such rarefied company. Dalis is in very good voice, and the high point is her duet with Bacquier. Even Bacquier has a start when she delivers her final lines in the duet. Pretre’s long career has ended up being mostly at La Scala, but when it came to the Saint-Saens score, he had no superiors. Dalis is the subject of a new biography by Linda Riebel which focuses on Dalis’ role in the founding of Opera San Jose. Her major Met career is not omitted.
