Semele(2021)
Semele Synopsis
Mythology goes to church in New Zealand Opera's unique, site-specific staging of Handel's baroque masterpiece. This sensual story explores a love triangle between Jupiter, King of the Gods, his wife, the goddess Juno, and his lover, the mortal but overly ambitious princess Semele. This engrossing film of an in-the-round live performance showcases Handel's exquisitely lyrical music and presents a powerful story of ambition that is as relevant today as it was when written nearly three centuries ago.
Semele (2021) is a music and drama film directed by Rebecca Tansley, released on October 28, 2021 with a runtime of 2h 27m. It stars Emma Pearson, Amitai Pati, Sarah Castle and Paul Whelan.
