Georg Friedrich Händel: Samson
*Samson* is a three-act oratorio by George Frideric Handel, premiered in London in 1743 with a libretto by Newburgh Hamilton based on John Milton's poem *Samson Agonistes*. It dramatizes the biblical story of Samson—his captivity by the Philistines after being betrayed by Delilah, his blindness and despair, and his final act of strength destroying his enemies.
