We don’t feel much of anything for Dalila, which makes it so easy to dismiss her character. It makes it all about Samson’s goodness and the evil seductress who took away his pride. Samson was an opera by the French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau with a libretto by Voltaire. The work was never staged due to censorship, although Voltaire later printed his text. Rameau intended the opera on the theme of Samson and Delilah as the successor to his debut Hippolyte et Aricie, which premiered in October 1733. This work is now restaged by the Argentine film director and screenwriter Damián Szifron, whose film »Wild Tales« was nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Foreign Language Film in 2015. In the 2019/20 season at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Szifrón is making his opera debut with »Samson et Dalila«.

Then, touched by faith, he suddenly regains his strength at a Philistine dance and manages to bring their temple crashing down; Dalila and her people are destroyed. Summary. Together with Faust and Carmen, Samson and Dalila remains the most popular opera in the French repertory.
