Semele Händel

Revenge is served blazing hot in Semele, Handel's sexiest and most scandalous oratorio.Semele is on stage 23 July - 26 August.There are just a handful of tic...

Semele is a story and a score ripe with desire and sensuality. So how does Handel turn sex into sound? How does he translate a provocative myth into a satisfying stage work? In our latest short film, we brought classicist Daisy Dunn, music historian Ruth Smith and opera singer and satirist Melinda Hughes together with soprano Jane Archibald to explore…

Semele is engaged, but secretly in love with someone else. Her lover is none other than Jupiter, King of the Gods. When he carries her off his wife Juno devises a scheme that will ensure a swift and brutal end – both to her husband’s infidelity and to Semele herself.

With a plot full of lusty Gods and beautiful mortals, where intrigue and desire take centre-stage, Handel’s Semele combines the drama of Italian opera with the choral splendour and richness of English oratorio. Ovid’s colourful Metamorphoses provides the starting point for a work that scandalised 18th-century audiences, a story of transformations, seductions and illusions that drew new sensuality and ecstasy from the composer.

Olivier Award-winning director Adele Thomas makes her Glyndebourne debut with the festival’s first-ever staging of Semele. Period specialist Václav Luks conducts an exciting young cast.
