 in Synopsis Act I Palestine\, 1150 B.C. In a square in Gaza\, a group of
  Hebrews beg Jehovah for relief from their bondage to the Philistines\; 
 Samson\, their leader\, rebukes them for their lack of faith. When the P
 hilistine commander\, Abimélech\, denounces the Hebrews and their God\, 
 Samson kills him and leads the Hebrews away. The High Priest of Dagon co
 mes from the Philistine temple and curses Samson’s prodigious strength\,
  leaving with the slain man’s bier. An Old Hebrew praises the returning 
 Samson. The outer walls of the temple disappear to reveal Samson’s forme
 r lover\, the Philistine woman Dalila\, who invites him to come that nig
 ht to her nearby dwelling. She and her maidens dance seductively for Sam
 son\, who becomes deaf to the Old Hebrew’s dour prophecies. Act II In th
 e vale of Sorek\, Dalila calls on her gods to help her ensnare and disar
 m Samson\, promising the High Priest to find a way to render the hero po
 werless. Samson appears\, passionate in spite of himself\; when Dalila h
 as him in her power\, she feigns disbelief in his constancy and demands 
 that he show his love by confiding in her the secret of his strength\, w
 eeping when he refuses. Samson hears rolling thunder as a warning from G
 od but cannot resist following Dalila inside. Not long afterward\, havin
 g finally learned that the secret of Samson’s strength is his long hair\
 , she calls to hidden Philistine soldiers\, who rush in to capture and b
 lind Samson. Act III In a dungeon at Gaza\, the sightless Samson pushes 
 a grist mill in a circle\, praying for his people\, who will suffer for 
 his sin. He hears their voices castigating him. During a bacchanal in th
 e Temple of Dagon\, Dalila and the High Priest taunt Samson. When they f
 orce him to kneel to Dagon\, he asks a boy to lead him to the two main p
 illars of the temple. Samson prays to Jehovah to restore his strength\, 
 and with a mighty effort he pulls down the pillars and the temple\, crus
 hing himself and his foes. by John W. Freeman — courtesy of Opera News C
