Samson And Dalilah: Opera In Three Acts (1893)

""Samson and Delilah"" is a three-act opera composed by Charles Camille Saint-Saens in 1893. The story is based on the biblical tale of Samson and Delilah, where Samson is a strong and powerful Israelite who falls in love with Delilah, a Philistine woman who betrays him by cutting off his hair, the source of his strength. The opera explores themes of love, betrayal, and revenge, as well as the conflict between the Israelites and the Philistines. The music is dramatic and powerful, with memorable arias and duets, and the opera has become a staple of the operatic repertoire. The opera premiered at the Grand Th����������tre de Bordeaux in France and has since been performed all over the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
