Semele tickets have been popular for more than 250 years, but it didn't always start out that way. The opera composed by George Frideric Handel was originally shunned due to public concerns that the plot was too racy and provocative. As those concerns waned, and as societies became more progressive and expressive, Semele has grown to be appreciated for all of its glorious ways. Handel's amazing opera is still one of the hottest event tickets in opera, and you can sample a live concert-style performance of Myself I Shall Adore sung by Kathleen Battle.
