About Semele:
The opera is based on the myth from the third book of Ovids' Metamorfphoses. The opera is about the lovely mortal Semele, who has a short but spectacular love affair with Jupiter, king of the Gods. The affair ends dramatically as a result of her vanity and clumsiness as much as the insane jealousy of Jupiters wife Juno.
Handel wrote it at the peak of his powers, it's full of sparkling and dramatic music. Spectacular orchestral pieces and powerful refrains, combined with blood curdling aria's.
