Samson & Dalila DVD Summary
In ancient Palestine, the Hebrews live as slaves under the Philistines.
Samson
, a Hebrew of enormous strength, appears and leads a revolt and kills the Philistine leader
Abimelech
after
Abimelech
tries to force the Hebrews to worship Dagon, a Philistine god.
After his success, the beautiful, seductive Philistine
Dalila
entreats
Samson
to come to her that night, intending to trick him and learn the secret of his unnatural strength.
Samson
goes to
Dalila
and falls prey to her trickery, after which he is captured, blinded and led away.
The Hebrews are once again in the power of the Philistines due to
Samson
's weakness with
Dalila
, and the once-mighty
Samson
is brought into a Philistine temple.
There, he is ordered to pray to Dagon.
Samson
seems to acquiesce, but as he is led to the altar, he prays that his God will restore his strength for one last victory.
His prayer is granted, and
Samson
smashes the columns that support the stone temple, bringing destruction to the temple and death to both his oppressors and himself.
Among the many popular arias from this work are
"Printemps qui commence,"
"Israël! romps ta chaîne"
and
"Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix.
"
