Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Samson et Dalila (Samson and Delilah) is a French grand opera in three acts and four scenes, composed by Camille Saint-Saëns and set to a libretto by Ferdinand Lemaire. Based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah from Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges, it is known to be a mix between an opera and an oratorio, and is the only opera by Saint-Saëns that is regularly performed today.Set in Gaza during the Biblical period (c. 1150 B.C.), the story follows the heroic Samson, blessed with divine strength by God that is tied to his long hair, who encourages his fellow enslaved Hebrews to fight back against their cruel Philistine masters. However, the High Priest of Dagon decides to fight back, and sends Dalila to seduce Samson and find out the source of his strength. Despite all warnings not to give into his desires, Samson succumbs to the seductive charms of Dalila, with disastrous results for himself, and for the rest of the Hebrews.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })After its premiere at the Ducal Theater in Weimar on December 2nd, 1877, the opera was a huge success with critics and audiences. However, it languished in obscurity for twenty years before seeing international popularity in the 1890s, following several revivals at many celebrated opera houses in Europe. Since then, the opera has served as a star vehicle for many opera singers, with the role of Dalila being one of the greatest roles for mezzo-sopranos. |

comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Saint-Saëns’ opera definitely brings out the sensuality of the Biblical tale, especially with a focus on the title characters’ inner tensions and desires. And with the Bacchanale towards the end, it truly is a risqué adaptation of a Biblical story. |

Redemption Equals Death: In Act III, Samson prays to God, who restores his strength once more, then uses that strength to bring down the Temple of Dagon, subsequently killing the Philistines, Dalila, and himself. |

Love Makes You Dumb: Just like in the Bible, Samson succumbing to his desire for Dalila results in him giving away the source of his strength, and losing that strength in the process. |

The Dog Bites Back: Samson manages to fight back in Act III, all by bringing down the Temple of Dagon upon himself and everyone else. |
