Overview

While the rest of the Hebrews bewail their fate, Samson alone trusts in God's promise of liberty. Abimelech, the Philistine satrap of Gaza, enters to mock the Hebrews' God, proclaiming the superiority of Dagon, and the Hebrews are afraid of him. But calls them to show some defiance, so Abimelech attacks Samson with his sword. Samson seizes the sword and strikes him dead. The Hebrews scatter and the High Priest of Dagon appears, cursing the Hebrews. When a messenger reports that the Hebrews are ravaging the harvest, the High Priest forms a plan to use Delilah to overcome Samson's strength. Delilah's beauty is such that Samson can't resist her for long. She begs to know the secret of his supernatural strength, but he refuses, though he says he loves her. Delilah betrays Samson by having some Philistine soldiers seize him and throw him into a prison in Gaza, where his hair is cut off.

Sansone e Dalila

Overview

Samson et Dalila, in italiano Sansone e Dalila, è un'opera lirica in tre atti di Camille Saint-Saëns ispirata al noto episodio biblico di Sansone e Dalila.

L'opera debuttò al Teatro Granducale di Weimar in lingua tedesca (Simson und Delila) il 2 dicembre 1877 con Hans Feodor von Milde (Oberpriester), sotto la direzione di Eduard Lassen, riscuotendo un grande successo. Quando fu eseguita in lingua francese a Rouen per la prima volta, il 23 marzo 1890, però, non suscitò l'entusiasmo del pubblico. Nonostante le premesse, l'opera si riscattò, e divenne poi la composizione operistica più famosa di Saint-Saëns, ed è tuttora nel repertorio operistico dei principali teatri del mondo. Shirley Verrett ha fatto del ruolo di Dalila uno dei suoi cavalli di battaglia, ma si ricordano anche Fiorenza Cossotto, Agnes Baltsa, Grace Bumbry e, odiernamente, Anita Rachvelishvili.
