Samson was 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

| - Samson est un « opéra sacré » composé par Rameau à partir de 1733 sur un livret de Voltaire, jamais représenté et dont la musique, qui est perdue, aurait néanmoins été réutilisée pour des œuvres postérieures (Castor et Pollux (1737) et Les Fêtes d'Hébé (1739). La collaboration de Rameau et Voltaire aboutira en 1745 dans deux œuvres d'inspiration bien différente : Le Temple de la Gloire et La Princesse de Navarre. (fr)
- Samson är en tragédie en musique i fem akter med musik av Jean-Philippe Rameau och libretto av Voltaire. Samarbetet mellan Voltaire och Rameau påbörjades i december 1733, kort tid efter premiären på Hippolyte et Aricie. Trots att en betydande del av musiken var fullbordad (akterna III och V samt en del av balettmusiken repeterades 1734) övergavs arbetet med operan 1735 eller kort tid därefter. Censuren förbjöd uppförandet då Voltaires kritiska syn på kyrkan återspeglades i librettot om den bibliska Simson. Voltaires text skulle senare inspirera Camille Saint-Saëns till sin opera Simson och Delila. Rameau återanvände musiken till kommande operor men mycket litet kan identifieras. (sv)

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. (en)
