¡Handel: Semele[Priced-down Reissue]
¡Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo soprano)
Description
[Machine Translation] [The opera is performed in a modern production by Robert Carsen, with Bartoli singing the leading role of Semele, who sings in a wonderful voice for almost the entire performance. Semele" is undoubtedly one of Handel's greatest works for the stage. When it was first performed, it was called a "dirty opera" because of its explicit treatment of female lust, but Robert Carsen's production is a modern version of this dramatic depiction of the weakest part of the human condition. The opera was performed to great acclaim by a splendid cast of singers, including Bartoli, and a superb performance by conductor Christie, who is well versed in Handel's work. Charles Workman ( Tenor: Jupiter ), Anton Scharinger ( Baritone: Cadmus & Somnus ), Orchestra La Scintilla of the Opera House Zurich, Conductor: William Christie
