EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense moment from Act 1, Scene 6 of Camille Saint-Saëns' opera "Samson et Dalila," first performed in Paris in 1892. The scene depicts the biblical character Samson, portrayed here by tenor Jean-Baptiste Faure, being struck by the beauty of the Philistine woman Dalila, played by soprano Emma Calvé. The historical context of this image lies in the 19th century, a time when grand operas were a popular form of entertainment and artistic expression. Camille Saint-Saëns, a renowned French composer of the Romantic era, composed the opera based on the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. In this scene, Samson has been lured to Delilah's bedchamber under false pretenses, and she reveals the secret of his strength - his long hair. As she weaves his hair into her hairbraids, he is overcome by her beauty and falls into a deep slumber. The image, titled "Samson Strikken door Dalila" (Samson Stunned by Dalila), was captured during a performance of the opera by the Dutch photographic studio Lieb2. The photograph provides a glimpse into the theatrical world of the late 19th century, showcasing the dramatic intensity and emotional depth of the opera. The image also highlights the captivating performances of the lead actors, Jean-Baptiste Faure and Emma Calvé, who brought the biblical story to life on the stage. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music and opera, and the ability of art to transport us to another time and place. It invites us to imagine the enchanting world of Samson et Dalila, where love, betrayal, and redemption come together in a powerful and unforgettable musical experience.
