In the story of Samson and Delilah, the hero, Samson, is seduced by Delilah, who was a spy hired by the Philistines. Samson lost his hair, his strength, and his vision because of her treachery.
But, in the end, it didn’t matter- –Samson triumphed.
Delilah by William Wetmore Story 1877
Camille Saint Saëns wrote an opera in the late 1800’s about this story, and this aria is one of the most beautiful ever. If you like opera and if you have 7 minutes, here is “Mon coeur s’ouvre a ta voix” which means,”My heart opens itself to your voice.”
