"Samson et Dalila" is an opera in three acts by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns to a French libretto by Ferdinand Lemaire. It was first performed in Weimar at the Grossherzogliches (Grand Ducal) Theater on December 2, 1877, in a German translation. The opera is based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament and is set in ancient Palestine. The work is Saint-Saëns' only opera that has maintained a consistent presence in the international opera repertoire, celebrated for its compelling music, dramatic narrative, and vivid orchestration.

The opera's narrative centers on the conflict between the Israelites and the Philistines, with the hero Samson attempting to liberate his people from Philistine domination. Delilah, a Philistine woman, seduces Samson into revealing the secret of his strength: his long hair. This leads to his downfall, imprisonment, and eventual redemption. The opera is renowned for its dramatic duets, powerful choruses, and the famous aria "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" ("My heart opens itself to your voice") in the second act, which has become a staple in the mezzo-soprano repertoire.

Despite its initial success in German-speaking countries, "Samson et Dalila" faced challenges in being staged in France, partly due to its biblical subject matter, which was unusual for French opera. It was not performed in Paris until 1890 but has since become one of Saint-Saëns' most performed works. The opera is notable for its fusion of French and German operatic traditions, combining the lyrical expression characteristic of French opera with the leitmotifs and orchestral innovations associated with German opera, particularly the works of Richard Wagner.

"Samson et Dalila" showcases Saint-Saëns' mastery in setting biblical drama to music, blending sensual and dramatic elements with a deep psychological insight into its characters. The opera remains a testament to the composer's versatility and his ability to convey profound emotional experiences through a rich musical language.
