Klaus Nomi: Samson and Delilah (Aria)



Uploaded by: trylonperisphere
Video Description:
"Toward the end of the show, the lights dimmed and the room was filled with a thundering musical ovation. The curtains opened and the spotlight fell on a strange, unearthly presence wearing a black gown, clear plastic cape, and white gloves. As the orchestral refrain from Saint-Saens' 'Samson And Delila' was played, this strange Weimar version of Mickey Mouse began singing in an angelic voice. "I still get goose pimples when I think about it," remembers Joey Arias, who was in the audience that night. "Everyone became completely quite until it was over."
Steven Hager, Art After Midnight: The East Village Scene1986 St. Martin's Press, excerpts Samson et Dalila by Saint-Saëns (Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix).

Note that as soon as the audience realized he wasn't lip-synching to a Maria Callas record, they fell silent. And listen to how they applauded!

what makes me smile is that this was such a lovely audience for an opera - they would scream and yell with excitement and enthusiasm. No opera singer today has ever had such an applause! I'd have given anything to be there at that show.

Wonderful song, video and artist. I think it was totally disrespectful however, how a man in the backround so nonchalantly blurted out, "holy shit," when Nomi appeared on stage to perform FOR HIM.

It was just an honest expression of shock. No disrespect intended, I'm sure.
The best ... ( 3 weeks ago by vettae)
The best countertenor of all times. I'm sure of that. The tremendous, powerful voice, and above all the emotion he transports with it. He's singing straight from his heart. He came closer to Maria Callas than any female soprano. Never heard such a powerful countertenor. What a vibrato, what power! He was a diva.

I never knew in all the time I've loved Nomi's music that this show - the famous one that gave Johnny Arias goosebumps - was filmed! Thankyou for posting this!

I was just sitting here thinking that we only call him a countertenor because he was male. That's really a mezzo soprano voice. He had as much space and ease in the upper range of his voice as any soprano.

He came from outer space to save the human race!
