Semele Händel

Public

Approved

Moral fable or “bawdy play”, Handel’s Semele contains some of his most lyrical arias and dramatic choruses. Part opera, part oratorio, its unique mixture of tragedy and comedy makes Semele one of the richest and most compelling of all Handel’s compositions for the stage.
