Handel's Semele (ENO): Act 3
Due to popular demand, here is the English National Opera (ENO) version of Semele in full. Unfortunately, there is no DVD version of this star cast from 1999:
Semele - Rosemary Joshua
Jupiter/Apollo - John Mark Ainsley
Juno - Susan Bickley
Ino - Sarah Connolly
Prince Athamas - Stephen Wallace
Cadmus - Graeme Danby
Iris - Janis Kelly
Chorus and Orchestra of ENO
Conductor - Harry Bickett
Music by George Frideric Handel
Libretto by William Congreve after Ovid
First performed: 1744
Semele Synopsis - Act Three
Somnus is sleeping peacefully in his cave when Juno and Iris arrive. It is only when Juno speaks the name of the nymph Pasithea that Somnus awakes. In exchange for the nymph, Somnus agrees to help Juno. He is even prepared to lend her his magic, sleep-inducing wand, which she will need to elude the dragons that guard Semele's palace.
Juno, now disguised as Ino, appears to Semele. She first presents her 'sister' with a magic mirror which causes Semele instantly to fall in love with her own image. Juno then craftily advises the young woman how to obtain the immortality she desires: Jupiter must be tricked into making love to her in his true god-like form, rather than in his mortal disguise. Semele is delighted and thanks her profusely.
Jupiter returns, enflamed with desire. Semele rejects him until he swears to give her whatever she wants. Continuing to follow Juno's advice, she asks him to appear in all his godly splendour. The god is horrified and desperately warns her of the mortal danger she is in. Semele refuses to accept anything less than the fulfilment of her wish and leaves Jupiter to lament his part in her inevitable destruction.
Juno gloats over her triumph, while Semele realizes too late the consequences of her ambition. As she approaches the godhead, the flames of Jupiter's power burn her and she dies.
The people lament Semele's death. Ino describes a dream in which Hermes revealed Jupiter's wish for her and Athamas to wed. Jupiter himself now appears and announces that his union with Semele will result in the birth of Bacchus, the god of wine. The people are left to celebrate this unexpected piece of good news.

Italianate around the house, it quickly meanders into flowing borders full of scented shrubs and exuberant perennials. The gardens were created by Heather Muir, and then they passed to daughter Diany Binney, who we see in this film onc...

Hello Mc Curdy family from America
Really pretty amazing
Thank you to whoever posted this UA-cam on WONDERFUL SR WENDY in Rome ! I love EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ART LOVING SISTER ! Now Sr Wendy is with Our Lord and the Angels and Saints ! Blessings from Michigan USA
Michelangelo, the great artist lived and was trained by a stone cutter from childhood. His own mother was very sickly and he had to live with the stone cutter and his wife many times and over many years. He idealised his Ma. He made her bigger and likely more like the surrogate mother, because his own Ma died young, so he made her up. This idea of Mary holding this grown man, for me, has more to do with Michelangelo’s ‘lack’ of mothering, or ‘mothering by another’ unconnected woman. Since childhood he longed for his real earthly mother, and he could feel, and displayed the disconnection, and he showed it to us in this beautiful sculpture. Mary is not to be prayed to in this regard, but many who saw this sculpture would be taught to pray to Mary. Many would try to claim Mary is on a pedestal, like here, and she is larger than Jesus to show the inclination for people to pray to her. But it was Michelangelo’s way to explain his broken disconnected heart. It is after all, his life experience! I feel it is more about how unconnected Michelangelo felt toward his own mother, and even toward the woman who cared for him, and how he saw the mother (surrogate) as younger, because it was his experience that his Mom was likely older. Jesus was different than Michelangelo. Although longing to be with Mary in life, he instead became more connected to the first component of the trinity, his Father. Just like the stonecutter gave Michaengelo a trade so did God give Jesus a way to show us God’s love for us and be the son of God, who God gave us to die for us, and rise again, and thereby ‘to keep’ his earthly family. Michelangelo’s role of an amazing artist, but only human releases us from the capture of Mary as a deity. In other words we pray to God in the name of Jesus. Jesus gave Mary over to his friend John to look after her earthly needs. He did not abandon her on earth. She is His earthly mother and not ours. Should she be prayed to? No. She is not God, she has a special place, but is not God. We all have our beloved Jesus to care for us, and so did John, and Mary.

The great clock tower housing Big Ben *chime* 0:03
I love her butt
Built in 1858…… Riiiiiiiight 🤨 How did they build this with horse and cart??? Reset evidence.
Was that Rosemary Verey? Excuse me if the spelling is adrift. David Hicks was a masterful designer, great to see this feature about him. And Rosemary was a pretty good designer in her own right. Visited Barnsley House many moons ago, and we bought a few plants from her, I still have some of the box and a Himalayan Lily, ( Cardiocrinum Giganteum) after all those years and a move to another garden. The Himalayan lily is an astonishing plant but you have to wait a few years for each successive flowering and the flowers themselves have a fabulous scent but you’ll need a ladder to reach them, our tallest was over 12ft high.
his so lucky he got on big ben and i dont im from philippines i dont have money to travel there
Fed up with these ‘mega mansions’ being saved, what about the ‘hovels’ and ‘seaside shanty communities’ of the ‘poor’ which have been destroyed over the last twenty to thirty years? Shelley Beach Exmouth comes to mind, fishing and hundred year old holiday homes bull dozed for another ‘docks housing complex’………. And don’t get me started on Castle Drogo……. The poor’s architecture matters as much as the rich for we are actually ‘the many’…………. National Trust, English Heritage as the phrase from old school reports goes ‘could do better’!? Waaay better…………
"... built by the third Marquess of Bute..." He must have been one heck of a stonemason.
It would be great to see it up for the line’s bi-centennial in 2038.
Does anyone know if he still lives here?
If that’s his only country estate yes that is his main residence. Beautiful!

He does! It's still his home estate amongst a few other places in the world.
