Georg Frideric Handel’s opera, Semele, is a tale of passion, ambition, and divine jealousy, filled with some of the composer's most breathtaking arias and choruses. Princess Semele is carried off by her lover, the god Jove, to a mountaintop paradise. The Princess should be happy but longs for power in addition to her sensual existence. The story turns deadly when Jove’s vengeful wife, Juno, deceives Semele into demanding to see her lover in his full divine glory, her wish turns fatal – Jove’s radiance consumes her in flames. Yet from the ashes, her unborn child survives, destined to become Bacchus, the god of wine and earthly pleasure.
