Semele
Edinburgh Studio with Edinburgh University Chamber Orchestra presents: Handel’s ‘Semele’ at the Pleasance Theatre from 27th to 30th March.
About Semele
As gods and mortals collide, Handel’s genius shines in a whirlwind of baroque arias and choruses that are as dazzling as the powerful desires at the heart of the story. The forbidden love affair becomes a playground for exceptional vocal performances, each note weaving a spellbinding tale of ambition and consequence.
The result is a mythological musical journey that proves messing with gods is never a dull affair.
