Watch Semele For Free
Semele
Opera superstar Cecilia Bartoli offers her first operatic release on DVD in 12 years, and also her first opera in English. Bartoli stars as Semele (a role usually taken by a soprano) in Handel s late opera, which features such well-known arias as Endless pleasure, endless love, Myself I shall adore, and Oh sleep, why dost though leave me? Robert Carsen s stylish modern dress production hints at parallels with the problematic relationship between the late Princess Diana and the British Royal Family. Recorded live at the Zurich Opera House in January, 2007.

Reviews
Powerful
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
