Visionary director James Darrah and his creative team Chromatic (“Agrippina,” 2014 and “A Flowering Tree,” 2015) return to Opera Omaha with a new production of Handel’s “Semele” — a darkly comic mythological story of a mortal woman’s tryst with a dangerous god.
Featuring some of Handel’s most glorious orchestral and virtuosic vocal writing, “Semele” is an opera of unbridled lust, jealousy and revenge. Early music specialist and Grammy® winning conductor, Stephen Stubbs (“Agrippina”), will lead another exceptional ensemble of artists. Sung in English with English supertitles.
