In Spring 2019, the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists, led by John Eliot Gardiner, presented a tour of Handel’s dramatic oratorio, Semele. In a concert-staging directed by Thomas Guthrie, a glamorous team of young soloists joined the Monteverdi ensembles to bring the story of Semele to life.
This performance was filmed in London's Alexandra Palace Theatre on 2 May 2019.

WDR3 radio broadcasted this new production last Sunday 8.05 p.m. As a Handelanian I was very delighted to listen to this marvellous music!

Geweldig!!

[@msubiras]

Good sung. Tempo improvable.

[@GRANITEDAME]

What was that made up bit in the B section about?

[@tenorandguitar]

I seem to remember Gardiner has to "bring something" to everything he does...not unknown among conductors haha... ;-)

[@piustwelfth]

It helps a lot to have a mic.

[@Isaac418]

What's with his head microphone. Shouldn't these great musicians achieve a good balance?

[@angelesmaciel4856]

Me parece que el trabajo vocal del tenor es más apropiado para el Teatro Musical. Lo digo con respeto.

[@drac3650]

I agree. But alas this production is far more operatic than what an original Handel would have been, so I guess these things are constantly changing.

[@Tigermuc]

What do you not like in his voice or singing?

[@preston_vlogs0147]

The only thing I don’t like
Is the way he is singing the word “to”

[@nickevershedmusic8927]

Yeah that’s fair

[@williamgass9242]

Do you mean into?

[@williamgass9242]

Id have a hard time not laughing at that girl.

[@pamlawrence9211]

isn't the point 'hearing the music" forget watching girls ?
