The opera is based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah found in Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. It is the only opera by Saint-Saëns that is regularly performed. The second act love scene in Delilah's tent is one of the set pieces that define French opera. Two of Delilah's arias are particularly well known: "Printemps qui commence" and "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" ("My heart opens itself to your voice", also known as "Softly awakes my heart"), the latter of which is one of the most popular recital pieces in the mezzo-soprano/contralto repertoire.
Composition history
In the middle of the 19th century, a revival of interest in choral music swept France, and Saint-Saëns, an admirer of the oratorios of Handel and Mendelssohn, made plans to compose an oratorio on the subject of Samson and Delilah as suggested by Voltaire's libretto Samson for Rameau. The composer began work on the theme in 1867, just two years after completing his first (and as then yet unperformed) opera, Le timbre d'argent. Saint-Saëns had approached Ferdinand Lemaire, the husband of one of his wife's cousins, about writing a libretto for the oratorio but Lemaire convinced the composer that the story was better suited to an opera.
According to the biblical account, Samson was given supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats such as killing a lion, slaying an entire army with only the jawbone of an ass, and destroying a pagan temple. Samson had two vulnerabilities, however: his attraction to untrustworthy women and his hair, without which he was powerless. These vulnerabilities ultimately proved fatal for him.
In some Jewish and Christian traditions, Samson is believed to have been buried in Tel Tzora in Israel overlooking the Sorek valley. There reside two large gravestones of Samson and his father Manoah. Nearby stands Manoah’s altar (Judges 13:19–24). It is located between the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol.
Samson (HWV 57) is a three-act oratorio by George Frideric Handel, considered one of his finest dramatic works. It is usually performed as an oratorio in concert form, but on occasions has also been staged as an opera. The well-known arias "Let the bright Seraphim" (for soprano) and "Total eclipse" (for tenor) are often performed separately in concert.
History
Handel began its composition immediately after completing Messiah on 14 September 1741. It uses a libretto by Newburgh Hamilton, who based it on Milton's Samson Agonistes, which in turn was based on the figure Samson in Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges. Handel completed the first act on 20 September 1741, the second act on 11 October that year and the whole work on 29 October. Shortly after that he travelled to Dublin to put on the premiere of Messiah, returning to London at the end of August 1742 and thoroughly revising Samson.
The premiere was given at Covent Garden in London on 18 February 1743, with the incidental organ music probably the recently completed concerto in A major (HWV 307). The oratorio was a great success, leading to a total of seven performances in its first season, the most in a single season of any of his oratorios. Samson retained its popularity throughout Handel's lifetime and has never fallen entirely out of favor since.
The locomotive was built in 1838 by Timothy Hackworth at his Soho Works in Durham, England. Samson represents an early design of steam locomotive with a return-flue boiler. The fireman and engineer worked separately on open platforms at either end of the locomotive. It was commissioned for the General Mining Association along with two other locomotives, "Hercules" and "John Buddle" for the Albion Mines Railway to serve mines in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
Arrival
The locomotives arrived unassembled aboard the brig Ythan in May 1839. Two engineers arrived with the locomotives, including George Davidson, who helped build the locomotives in England and would settle in Nova Scotia to work with Samson for the rest of his career. The new railway officially opened with a large celebration on September 19, 1839, although the tracks were not actually completed to the coal pier until May 1840.

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yang t'lah hilang darimu
Yang mampu menyanjungku
Selama mata terbuka
Sampai jantung tak berdetak
Selama itu pun
Aku mampu 'tuk mengenangmu
Darimu, kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku, kau lah cinta sejati
Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau kenangan
Yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
Meninggalkan jeja...

Samson et Dalila - Camille Saint-Saëns
Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix
Dalila: Shirley Verrett
Samson: Jon Vickers
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

Saint-Saëns - Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix (Samson et Dalila)

Roberto Alagna (Samson)
The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra
Mark Elmer, conductor
2018
The opera is based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah found in Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. It is the only opera by Saint-Saëns that is regularly performed. The second act love scene in Delilah's tent is one of the set pieces that define French opera. Two of Delilah's arias are particularly well known: "Printemps qui commence" and "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" ("My heart opens itself to your voice", also known as "Softly awakes my heart"), the latter of which is one of the most popular recital pieces in the mezzo-soprano/contralto repertoire.
Composition history
In the middle of the 19th century, a revival of interest in choral music swept France, and Saint-Saëns, an admirer of the oratorios of Handel and Mendelssohn, made plans to compose an oratorio on the subject of Samson and Delilah as suggested by Voltaire's libretto Samson for Rameau. The composer began work on the theme in 1867, just two years after completing his first (and as then yet unperformed) opera, Le timbre d'argent. Saint-Saëns had approached Ferdinand Lemaire, the husband of one of his wife's cousins, about writing a libretto for the oratorio but Lemaire convinced the composer that the story was better suited to an opera.

Smooth Boppy Piano Snapping Fingers Riff: This turf is small but it's all we got, huh? I wanna hold it like we always held it, with skin! But if they say blades, I say blades but if they say guns, I say guns. I say I want the Jets to be the number one! To sail! To hold the sky! Baby John: Rev us up! Gee-Tar: Voom-va-voom! Big Deal: Cha-chung! Action: Wacko-jacko! A-Rab: Digga-digga-dig-dum! Riff: Now, protocality calls for a war council between us and the Sharks to set the whole thing up. So I will personally give the bad news to Bernardo. Against the Sharks, we need every man we got we need a lieutenant for the war council. Action: That's me. Riff: That's Tony. Action: Who needs Tony? Riff: We need Tony! He has a reputation bigger than the whole west side. Action: Tony don't belong no more. Riff: Cut it, Action Tony and I started the Jets. Action: What about the day we clobbered the Emeralds? Big Deal: Which we couldn't have done without Tony. Baby John: He saved my ever-loving neck! Riff: Yeah, Tony has come through for us and he always will. Riff: When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way from your frst cigarette to your last dyin' day. When you're a Jet, let 'em do what they can, you got brothers around, you're a family man! You're never alone, you're never disconnected! You're home with your own when company's expected, you're well protected! Then you are set with a capital J, which you'll never forget till they cart you away. When you're a Jet, you stay a Jet! Riff: I know Tony like I know me and I guarantee you can count him in. Action: In, out, let's get crackin'. A-Rab: Where you gonna find Bernardo? Riff: He'll be at the dance at the gym tonight. A-Rab: Yeah, but the gym's neutral territory. Riff(innocently): A-Rab, I'm gonna make nice with him! I'm only gonna challenge him. A-Rab: Great, Daddy-o! Riff: So everybody dress up sweet and sharp and meet Tony and me at the dance at ten. And walk tall! A-Rab: We always walk tall! Baby John: We're Jets! Action: The greatest! Drums Snowboy: When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town, you're the gold medal kid with the heavyweight crown! Diesel: When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing. Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a king! Jets: The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clickin'. The Sharks'll steer clear 'cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken! Here com the Jets like a bat out of hell. Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well. Here come the Jets little world, step aside! Better go undeground, better run, better hide. We're drawin' the line, so keep your noses hidden! We're hangin' a sign, says "Visitors Forbidden" and we ain't kiddin'! Here come the Jets, Yeah! An' we're gonna beat ev'ry last buggin' gang on the whole buggin' street! On the whole buggin' ever lovin' street!
