Semele

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.

Award-winning director Adele Thomas makes her Glyndebourne debut with the festival’s first-ever staging of Semele.
