Please, recommend me a good DVD of Samson et Dalila

Dear friends:

Dear friends:

Please, recommend me a good DVD of Samson et Delilah.

I prefer a traditional realization, not a modern and out of context
one, please.

Thanks

First - your English is fine. No apology needed. On the other hand, your
French is better in the Subject line (Dalila) than in the Body
(Delilah). <VBG>

There were two very fine, traditional, but distinct versions on
LaserDisc; I do not know about DVD availability. Both are from 1981 with
Shirley Verrett as Dalila. The ROH with Vickers is static, nearly an
oratorio; the SFO with Domingo is more conventionally operatic. Both are
very fine and either would be a welcome addition to a library of opera
on video.
