When Rameau took the world of opera by storm in 1733, Voltaire set
aside his first libretto, "Tanis et Zelide", and wrote "Samson" and
later "Pandore" with the composer specifically in mind. All three
libretti depict rebellion against established religions,
culminating in spectacular scenes: Isis and Osiris destroying the
temple at Memphis; Samson bringing down the temple, crushing
himself and the Philistines; and Prometheus and the Titans doing
battle against the Roman gods.
