Eccles: Semele | Academy of Ancient Music [Full Opera]

Join us at our next concert: https://www.aam.co.uk The Academy of Ancient Music joins forces with Cambridge Handel Opera Company and Cambridge Early Music for a production of John Eccles' opera 'Semele' [c.1707]. A powerful setting of text by William Congreve, Eccles' masterwork fell neglected beneath the shadow of Handel's secular oratorio of the same name, premiering in 1744. The Academy of Ancient Music, CHOC and CEM are pioneering a major recording project of Eccles' 'Semele', endeavouring to elevate this under-appreciated work with a deluxe album release in early 2021.
