Semele Tickets

Semele Opera Tickets

Sophisticate your evening with fine music and a great story when you buy Semele tickets while this opera is still running at your local theatre. Semele had its premiere at the Covent Garden theatre in 1744 and was based on the existing opera libretto by William Congreve. The story is based on Ovid’s Metamorphoses and centers around the mother of Bacchus, whose name is Semele. The story begins with Semele stalling a wedding because she is secretly in love with Jupiter. The god then uses thunder to interrupt the wedding ceremony. Juno, who is married to Jupiter, is angered by her husband’s adultery and orders a messenger to find out where Jupiter and Semele are.

While Juno seeks vengeance on Semele, Semele seeks a way to become immortal so that she can live happily ever after with Jupiter. Since its debut, the opera has been recorded by several major musical groups and theatre companies. Among others, there are recordings produced by the English Chamber Orchestra and Amor Artis Chorale, English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir, and Opera Fuoco. When you buy Semele tickets, you can be sure that you’ll be getting an epic, moving performance. Semele is now considered to be one of the most frequently staged performances for several world operas.

Semele Seating Chart

As Semele performances may take place in a variety of venues, seating sections and audience capacity may change. However, opera concerts are often held in theatres which can hold large numbers of concert-goers. A venue such as the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center in New York City holds nearly 4,000 guests across its six major seating sections. The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles has four tiers of seating and is able to accommodate 3,156 seats to choose for that perfect seat.

Orchestra, box seating, grand tier, dress circle and balcony sections may all be offered at a venue near you. As a general rule, those who hope for clear central views of the stage may be better served with front-of-mezzanine seats over those in the rear orchestra, as the mezzanine often overhangs the lower level.
