A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Baroque era opera ...a dramatic blend of modern mythology and theatrical invention. Conductor Christine Brandes, known for her expertise in Classical and Baroque era music, makes her Atlanta Opera debut on the podium.
Acclaimed soprano Lauren Snouffer stars in the title role of Semele, a mortal woman whose ambition leads her into a tempestuous love affair with Jupiter, king of the gods, drawn from Greek mythology, with tragic consequences...
Set in a multiverse where divine forces clash with human aspirations, Semele tells a timeless story of desire, deception, and the dangers of hubris—the greatest crime of the universe as a mortal aspires to divinity..."
