Dalila

[ dal-uh-luh ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, Douay Bible.

Arthur Pougin was presumably unacquainted with "Samson et Dalila."

It was, however, not until the second of December 1877 that "Samson et Dalila" was brought out upon the stage.

It is not creditable that England should remain the only nation where "Samson et Dalila" has not been given.

The second act commences with Dalila's invocation to love, praying for aid in her design to ensnare Samson.

The instrumentation of "Samson et Dalila" is rich and varied, yet never unduly complicated.
