About Semele

Seduction, power, privilege. In the decadent world of the wealthy and powerful, hedonism rules supreme. Enter Semele, whose love for Jupiter introduces her to luxury - and total destruction. Sung in the original English and with music of unashamed sensuality, Oliver Mears' new production of Handel's daring opera will shock with its raw immediacy.

This musical myth stars Pretty Yende (who sang at the Coronation of King Charles III) in the title role, with Ben Bliss as her sinister lover. Folliowing its sell-out success at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, this gripping production is not to be missed.
