Semele is the third production by director Claus Guth at the Bavarian State Opera. In 2007 he directed Giuseppe Verdi's Luisa Miller , in 2022 Bluthaus by Georg Friedrich Haas. Guth lives in Munich, where he studied philosophy, German and theater studies at the LMU Munich, as well as theater and opera direction at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich. Yvonne Gebauer (dramaturgy) and Guth have been working together for many years, as has Gesine Völlm (costumes). The first collaboration between Guth and set designer Michael Levine, Jenůfaby Leoš Janáček, premiered in 2021 at the Royal Opera House London. Michael Bauer (Light) and Guth have known each other since their student days at the Bavarian State Opera.
