Lust For The Gods

Love affairs between gods and mortals seldom end well, as our heroine discovers. Semele, a princess and mistress of the god Jupiter, wishes for her lover to grant her immortality, but Semele's ambition and vanity ultimately lead to her undoing. Don't miss this lustful production performed by Atlanta Opera this June!

Composed by G. F. Handel and with a libretto by William Congreve, Semele was first performed in February 1744 in London's famous Royal Opera House. One of the true masterworks of the Baroque period, this production will be a company premiere of this excellent work. Grab your tickets now!
