| Engaging Sergej Larin proved an immense stroke of good fortune. In his most winning appearance here, the Russian tenor found the glinting heroic heft for the opening act, yet he offered a most credibly smitten sinner in Dalila's digs. Yet it was as the blinded, enfeebled Samson ("Vois, ma misere, helas") that Larin's exquisitely modulated vocalism, a portrait of humanity in extremis, transcended the opera's musty conventions./ Review 2001 |

| Ttenor Clifton Forbis looks hunky, moves gracefully and sings with firm, heroic tone. Agile and authoritative in Act I, ensnared and enraptured in Act II and tragically humbled in Act III, Forbis made the character's progression touching and credible. / Contra Costa Times 2007 |
