Semele Opera Tickets

Sophisticate your evening with fine music and a great story when you buy Semele tickets while this opera is still running at your local theatre. Semele had its premiere at the Covent Garden theatre in 1744 and was based on the existing opera libretto by William Congreve. The story is based on Ovid’s Metamorphoses and centers around the mother of Bacchus, whose name is Semele. The story begins with Semele stalling a wedding because she is secretly in love with Jupiter. The god then uses thunder to interrupt the wedding ceremony. Juno, who is married to Jupiter, is angered by her husband’s adultery and orders a messenger to find out where Jupiter and Semele are.

While Juno seeks vengeance on Semele, Semele seeks a way to become immortal so that she can live happily ever after with Jupiter. Since its debut, the opera has been recorded by several major musical groups and theatre companies. Among others, there are recordings produced by the English Chamber Orchestra and Amor Artis Chorale, English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir, and Opera Fuoco. When you buy Semele tickets, you can be sure that you’ll be getting an epic, moving performance. Semele is now considered to be one of the most frequently staged performances for several world operas.
