From her very own wardrobe department, mezzo-soprano Cassandra Seidemann brings us Saint- Saëns’ stirring aria ‘Amour! viens aider ma faiblesse’ from the grand opera Samson et Dalila. Characterised by large-scale casts and orchestras, grand operas were popular in the nineteenth century and usually featured plots based on or around dramatic historic events.
