NOTES For some years permission to perform the opera, “Samson and Delilah,” within the British Isles was withheld, owing to its being a Biblical subject. When it was last produced at Covent Garden in 1909, it met with instantaneous success, so rich is it in melody. The scene Madame Ainsley is presenting at IYA to-mor-row night will embrace all the best-known numbers in the opera—Delilah’s assurance of her people and her vow to the High Priest that she will bring about the destruction of Samson and thus the fall of Israel, and the scene with Samson, when she weaves over him her spell,* and wrests from him the secret of his power.
