Samson (opera)
''Samson'' is an opera by the French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau with a libretto by Voltaire. The work was never staged due to censorship, although Voltaire later printed his text. Rameau intended the opera on the theme of Samson and Delilah as the successor to his debut '' Hippolyte et Aricie'', which premiered in October 1733. Like ''Hippolyte'', ''Samson'' was a ''tragédie en musique'' in five acts and a prologue. Voltaire had become a great admirer of Rameau's music after seeing ''Hippolyte'' and suggested a collaboration with the composer in November 1733. The opera was complete by late summer 1734 and went into rehearsal. However, a work on a religious subject with a libretto by such a notorious critic of the Church was bound to run into controversy and ''Samson'' was banned. An attempt to revive the project in a new version in 1736 also failed. The score is lost, although Rameau recycled some of the music from ''Samson'' in his later operas. Background Rameau and Voltai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Samson (1961 Polish Film)
''Samson'' is a 1961 Polish film directed by Andrzej Wajda that uses art house aesthetics to tell a story about the Holocaust. Wajda's World War II film alludes to the Old Testament story of Samson, who had supernatural physical strength. But unlike the Biblical character, Wajda's Samson has great emotional strength. Plot A dark coming-of-age film, ''Samson'' follows its Jewish protagonist (Serge Merlin) from an anti-Semitic private school to a prison, then into a Jewish ghetto, and finally over the ghetto wall to the outside world. Wajda uses this journey as a means to explore expressionist cinematography and the weighty issues facing the Jewish people. The construction of the Jewish ghetto is communicated through a single, stationary shot. A shabbily dressed mass is clustered in front of the camera, and a pair of hands with a hammer and nails secures one board at a time, until the shot of people has been replaced with a shot of a wall. Through minimalism and simplicity, Wadja ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
