Forcing Gaza Israelites Opera Performed Philistines Rebel Rouses Saens Samson


This striking photograph captures the intensity and passion of the renowned French composer Camille Saint-Saëns' opera

EDITORS COMMENTS
Samson et Dalila," specifically from Act 1, Scene 2, titled "Before Dagon's Temple at Gaza." In this scene, the biblical hero Samson (pictured center) rouses the Israelites to rebel against their oppressors, the Philistines, who have been forcing them into hard labor. The historical background of this scene is set in ancient Palestine, where the Israelites were under the rule of the Philistines, a seafaring people who had conquered the land. Samson, a strong and powerful Israelite, had been captured by the Philistines and was being held captive in Gaza. However, his love for the Philistine woman Delilah led him to reveal the secret of his strength, which was his long hair. Once shorn of his locks, Samson lost his power, but his spirit remained unbroken. In this scene, Samson stands before the Israelites, his face filled with determination and resolve. The temple of Dagon, the Philistine god, can be seen in the background, symbolizing the power and might of their oppressors. The Israelites, inspired by Samson's words, gather around him, ready to rise up against their oppressors. This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, is a testament to the enduring power of music and art to capture historical moments and inspire emotions. The image of Samson rousing the Israelites against their oppressors continues to resonate with audiences today, reminding us of the importance of standing up against injustice and fighting for freedom." This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in exploring the rich history of art, music, and culture.
