I've always been a fan of Semele for over the past thirty-plus years. In this production, I love how the opera comes alive with the imaginative acting. Iris comes across as a pesky smarty assisiant which makes me crack up with laughter. The newspaper reading "Jupiter and Semele: It's Official" was another funny moment. I really cracked up when Juno tried to sing the closing cadenza of "Iris Hence Away" while looking franctically through her purse for AIRLINE TICKETS!? The audience hollered!!
Iris rolling on the floor when Juno sings"rolling down the dephs of night! Too funny!
