In this episode, tenor Josh Lovell—making his Atlanta Opera debut as Jupiter—guides listeners through the sweeping drama of Handel's Semele. This Baroque masterpiece follows the story of a mortal woman caught between love and ambition, as her secret affair with the king of the gods leads to divine deception, fiery consequences, and the birth of a new god. Along the way, Josh shares his personal connection to Handel's music and why Jupiter is a role he's excited to bring to life.  Whether you're new to opera or a longtime fan, this myth-meets-music journey is one you won't want to miss.

Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Adam Minihan are joined by Evan Amato of Rewire the West to discuss Book Five of Odyssey: Odysseus escapes Calypso's Island.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for a written guide to the Odyssey. A couple questions from the guide: 28. What happens in book five?King Odysseus is trapped on Calypso's island. Zeus, at Athena's pleading, agrees to two proposals: first, Odysseus may leave the captivity of Calypso; and second, Athena may help Telemachus escape the trap set by the suitors (5.24). Hermes, the messenger god, goes and tells Calypso that it is Zeus' will that Odysseus be set free upon a make-shift raft, and Calypso, though upset, acquiesces to the will of Zeus (5.125, 176).[1] She tells Odysseus he may leave, and he has her promise she is not plotting some new harm against him (5.202). After four days of working on the raft, Odysseus sets sail on the fifth with gifts and provisions from Calypso (5.288).Poseidon, who is returning from Ethiopia, sees Odysseus has left the island and, “it made his fury boil even more” (5.313). Poseidon sends a storm to sink Odysseus (5.321). As he's being battered by the waves, a goddess of the sea, Ino, pities Odysseus, and tells him to strip off his clothes, tie her scarf around his waist, and swim for land (5.377). Poseidon smashes the raft to pieces (5.403), and Odysseus, with the help of Athena, makes it to the shore (5.471). The book ends with Odysseus falling asleep beneath two olive trees (5.544).[2] 29. Why does Odysseus refuse Calypso's offer of immortality?Calypso tells Hermes that she has offered immortality to Odysseus (5.151), and again makes the offer after Odysseus knows he's free to leave the island (5.230). How can Odysseus refuse immortality? How can a mortal man refuse an immortal life with a beautiful goddess? A subtle clue is found in the opening of book five. It does not repeat the typical line of Dawn and her rosy fingers but instead invokes Dawn's lover, Tithonus (5.01).[3] It is said that Dawn (Eos) asked Zeus to make her mortal lover, Tithonus, immortal, and Zeus agreed—but Zeus did not grant Tithonus immortal youth. Thus, Tithonus, immortal, continued to age until he “became an old shriveled creature little more than a voice.”[4] Tithonus attempts to graft onto human nature something that is unnatural to it: immortality. As Dr. Patrick Deneen observes: “Tithonus accepts what is unacceptable for mortals to attain, but which is nevertheless clearly tempting to normal mortal desires.”[5]One aspect of the unnaturalness of immortality in man is the necessity for the possibility of death to achieve glory (kleos). It is in facing death that man achieves renown. Without death, what is man? Furthermore, observe how those who are without death, the immortal gods, are presented: imploded personalities, obsessive, petty, and narcissistic. The sinews between man, death, and glory are one to observe, as the story of Odysseus continues to develop.Similarly to Tithonus, we should observe Homer references the goddess Ino who was “a mortal woman once” (5.367). Ino, the sister of Semele, was driven mad by Hera, and she jumped into the sea with her son in her arms. She...

fWotD Episode 2645: Homeric Hymns Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 1 August 2024 is Homeric Hymns.The Homeric Hymns (Ancient Greek: Ὁμηρικοὶ ὕμνοι, romanized: Homērikoì húmnoi) are a collection of thirty-three ancient Greek hymns and one epigram. The hymns praise deities of the Greek pantheon and retell mythological stories, often involving a deity's birth, their acceptance among the gods on Mount Olympus, or the establishment of their cult. In antiquity, the hymns were generally, though not universally, attributed to the poet Homer: modern scholarship has established that most date to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, though some are more recent and the latest, the Hymn to Ares, may have been composed as late as the fifth century CE.The Homeric Hymns share compositional similarities with the Iliad and the Odyssey, also traditionally attributed to Homer. They share the same artificial literary dialect of Greek, are composed in dactylic hexameter, and make use of short, repeated phrases known as formulae. It is unclear how far writing, as opposed to oral composition, was involved in their creation. They may initially have served as preludes to the recitation of longer poems, and have been performed, at least originally, by singers accompanying themselves on a lyre or other stringed instrument. Performances of the hymns may have taken place at sympotic banquets, religious festivals and royal courts.There are references to the Homeric Hymns in Greek poetry from around 600 BCE; they appear to have been used as educational texts by the early fifth century BCE, and to have been collected into a single corpus after the third century CE. Their influence on Greek literature and art was relatively small until the third century BCE, when they were used extensively by Alexandrian poets including Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes. They were also an influence on Roman poets, such as Lucretius, Catullus, Virgil, Horace and Ovid. In late antiquity (c. 200 – c. 600 CE), they influenced both pagan and Christian literature, and their collection as a corpus probably dates to this period. They were comparatively neglected during the succeeding Byzantine period (that is, until 1453), but continued to be copied in manuscripts of Homeric poetry; all the surviving manuscripts of the hymns date to the fifteenth century. They were also read and emulated widely in fifteenth-century Italy, and indirectly influenced Sandro Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus.The Homeric Hymns were first published in print by Demetrios Chalkokondyles in 1488–1489. George Chapman made the first English translation of them in 1624. Part of their text was incorporated, via a 1710 translation by William Congreve, into George Frideric Handel's 1744 musical drama Semele. The rediscovery of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter in 1777 led to a resurgence of European interest in the hymns. In the arts, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used the Hymn to Demeter as an inspiration for his 1778 melodrama Proserpina. Their textual criticism progressed considerably over the nineteenth century, particularly in German scholarship, though the text continued to present substantial difficulties into the twentieth. The Homeric Hymns were also influential on the English Romantic poets of the early nineteenth century, particularly Leigh Hunt, Thomas Love Peacock and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later poets to adapt the hymns included Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Constantine P. Cavafy. Their influence has also been traced in the works of James Joyce, the films of Alfred Hitchcock, and the novel Coraline by Neil Gaiman.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:47 UTC on Thursday, 1 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Homeric Hymns on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

Hör tre favoriter i repris i det här specialminisnittet!Det grekiska dramat var en av antikens stora konstformer, med tävlingar för manusförfattare och skådespelare lika viktiga som dagens Oscarsgala för filmbranschen. Dramat växte fram ur det religiösa firandet till guden Dionysos ära, och blev snabbt populärt. Det var tragedier med svåra familjekonflikter, gripande monologer och hemska specialeffekter. Men också komedier med löspenisar, politisk satir, sång och dans.Backanterna brukar anses vara ett av den atenska tragikern Euripides allra främsta verk, tillika ett av de främsta tragiska verken någonsin. Det berättar historien om kung Pentheus av Thebe, vars familj bestraffas av Dionysos. Orsaken? De har förtalat Dionysos dödliga mor, Semele, och vägrat erkänna honom som son till Zeus. Efter att ha färdats över hela världen befinner sig nu Dionysos i Thebe för att utkräva sin hämnd, genom att inrätta en extatisk mysteriekult i staden.Aischylos pjäs De sju mot Thebe är ett prisbelönt drama från antikens Grekland som innehåller lite av varje; familjefejd, intriger och ett blodigt slut. Men framför allt en varning om att man inte kan fly från sitt öde. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Muna Yako, leading the Human Rights Commission in the KRG, disclosed to SBS that her aspiration to erect the monument of Simele dates back many years. Despite her efforts, she noted a lack of support from Assyrian organisations in reaching an agreement to commence the project. However, Dr. Yako affirmed that the Governor of Duhok has essentially agreed to support and finance the endeavour. This is part one of the report from Naseem Sadiq. Part two will follow soon.

Being the lover of Zeus can be a difficult job. Just ask Semele or Io... However, it turns out being his son can be very, very easy.

One of the UK's most popular vocalists and broadcasters, Aled Jones MBE, today announces the release of his brand-new album which not only celebrates 40 years in show business but reveals some previously unreleased tracks, recently unearthed by Aled himself. Whilst visiting his family home in Anglesey earlier this year, Aled began reminiscing over the 40 years of memorabilia his parents have collected throughout his career. They literally had everything, even a collection of multi-coloured shirts and bow ties. Aled's mother explained they had been handmade for him by a BBC employee for a series he made in 1983, at the age of 13. This prompted Aled to go and find the original programme. He began to go through the footage and discovered recordings, which have never been released or even heard since the original broadcast 40 years ago. The album includes brand new arrangements of those classics including Ave Maria and Bright Eyes.Aptly titled, ‘One Voice – Full Circle', the new record is the fourth (and probably final, says Aled!) instalment in his utterly unique ‘One Voice' series in which, through the magic of technology, Aled is able to duet with his younger self: man and boy, baritone and treble. Here, album highlights include ‘Sailing', The Sutherland Brothers' 1972 track best known as a hit for Rod Stewart, Handel's ‘Where'er you Walk', from the musical drama Semele, Welsh love song ‘Bugeilo'r Gwenith Gwyn' and traditional ballad ‘Scarborough Fair'. Aled even tracked down the original 80's guitarist, Dylan Fowler, to re-record his part for this new recording. TRACKLIST:1. Bright Eyes 2. Sea Fever 3. Scarborough Fair 4. Where ‘ere You Walk 5.

La Divina comedia del PARAISO Libro de Dante Alighieri CANTO VIGESIMOPRIMERO MIS ojos se habían fijado de nuevo en el rostro de mi Dama, y el ánimo con ellos se había separado de todo otro objeto. Ella no sonreía: —Pero si yo riese—empezó a decirme—, te quedarías como Semele, cuando fué reducida a cenizas; pues mi belleza, que, según has visto, brilla más cuanto más asciende por las gradas del eterno palacio, si no se moderase, resplandecería tanto, que tu fuerza mortal perecería ante su fulgor como la rama destrozada por el rayo. Nos hemos elevado al séptimo esplendor[168] que, colocado bajo el pecho del ardiente León, difunde ahora sobre la Tierra sus rayos mezclados con el fuerte influjo de aquél. Fija la mente en pos de tus miradas, y haz de tus ojos un espejo para la imagen que se te aparecerá en este espejo. Quien supiese cuán dulcemente se recreaba mi vista en el semblante dichoso de Beatriz, cuando invitado por ella la dirigí hacia otro objeto, conocería lo grato que me sería obedecer a mi Guía celestial, considerando que el placer de obedecerla contrabalanceaba al que yo sentía contemplándola. Dentro del cristal que, rodeando al mundo, lleva el nombre de su querido señor, bajo cuyo imperio permaneció muerto todo mal, vi una escala del color del oro en que se refleja un rayo de Sol, y tan elevada, que mis ojos no podían seguirla. Vi además bajar por sus escalones tantos resplandores, que pensé que todas las luces que brillaban en el cielo estaban esparcidas allí. Y así, como, por una costumbre natural, las cornejas se agitan reunidas al romper el día para dar calor a sus ateridas alas, y mientras se alejan algunas sin volver, otras regresan al punto de donde se remontaban, y otras revolotean sobre él, lo mismo me pareció que hacían aquellos fulgores que habían ido descendiendo hasta que se detuvieron en un escalón determinado. El que se quedó más cerca de nosotros empezó a resplandecer tanto, que yo decía entre mí: "Conozco el amor que me anuncias." Pero Aquélla, de quien espero la orden para hablar o callar, permaneció inmóvil: así es que, a pesar mío, hice bien en no preguntar nada. Por lo cual, ella, que leía en la vista de Aquél que lo ve todo el deseo que yo ocultaba, me dijo:...

Divina comedia Libro de Dante Alighieri CANTO TRIGESIMO EN aquel tiempo en que Juno, por causa de Semele, estaba irritada contra la sangre tebana, como lo demostró más de una vez, Atamas se volvió tan insensato que, al ver acercarse a su mujer, llevando de la mano a sus dos hijos, exclamó: "Tendamos las redes de modo que yo coja a su paso la leona con sus cachorros;" y extendiendo después las desapiadadas manos, agarró a uno de ellos, que se llamaba Learco, le hizo dar vueltas en el aire y lo estrelló contra una roca: la madre se ahogó con el hijo restante. Cuando la fortuna abatió la grandeza de los troyanos, que a todo se atrevían, hasta que el reino fué destruído juntamente con el rey, la triste Hécuba, miserable y cautiva, después de haber visto a Polixena muerta, y el cuerpo de su Polidoro tendido en la orilla del mar quedó con el corazón tan desgarrado, que, fuera de sí, empezó a ladrar como un perro; de tal modo la había trastornado el dolor. Pero ni los tebanos ni los troyanos furiosos demostraron tanta crueldad, no ya en torturar cuerpos humanos, sino ni siquiera animales, como la que vi en dos sombras desnudas y pálidas, que corrían mordiéndose, como el cerdo cuando se escapa de su pocilga. Una de ellas alcanzó a Capocchio, y se le afianzó a la nuca de tal modo, que tirando de él, le hizo arañar con su vientre el duro suelo. El aretino, que quedó temblando, me dijo: —Ese loco es Gianni Schicchi, que va rabioso maltratando a los demás. —¡Oh!—le dije yo—: no temas decirme quién es la otra sombra que va con él, antes que desaparezca, y ojalá no venga a hincarte los dientes en el cuerpo. Me contestó: —Es el alma antigua de la perversa Mirra, que fué amante de su padre contra las leyes del amor honesto: para cometer tal pecado se disfrazó bajo la forma de otra; como aquel que ya se va tuvo empeño en fingirse Buoso Donati, a fin de ganar la "Donna della Torma," testando en su lugar, y dictando las cláusulas del testamento.[38] Cuando hubieron pasado aquellas dos almas furiosas, sobre las cuales había tenido fija mi vista, me volví para mirar las sombras de los otros mal nacidos. Vi uno, que pareciera un laúd, si hubiese tenido el cuerpo cortado en el sitio donde el hombre se bifurca. La pesada hidropesía, que, a causa de los humores convertidos en maligna sustancia, hace los miembros tan desproporcionados, que el rostro no corresponde al vientre, le obligaba a tener la boca abierta, pareciéndose al hético que, cuando está sediento, dirige uno de sus labios hacia la barba y otro hacia la nariz. —¡Oh vosotros, que no sufrís pena alguna (y no sé por qué) en este mundo miserable!—nos dijo—: mirad y estad atentos al infortunio de maese Adam: yo tuve en abundancia, mientras viví, todo cuanto deseé; y ahora, ¡ay de mí!, sólo deseo una gota de agua. Los arroyuelos que desde las verdes colinas del Casentino descienden hasta el Arno, trazando frescos y apacibles cauces, continuamente están ante mi vista, y no en vano; pues su imagen me reseca más que el mal que descarna mi rostro. La rígida justicia que me castiga se sirve del mismo lugar donde he pecado para hacerme exhalar más suspiros. Allí está Romena, donde falsifiqué la moneda acuñada con el busto del Bautista, por lo cual dejé en la tierra mi cuerpo quemado. Pero si yo viese aquí el alma criminal de Guido, o la de Alejandro, o la de su hermano, no cambiaría el placer de mirarlos a mi lado ni aun por la fuente Branda. Una de ellas está ya aquí dentro, si es cierto lo que dicen las coléricas sombras de los que giran por estos sitios; pero ¿qué me importa, si tengo encadenados mis miembros? Si a lo menos fuese yo tan ágil que en cien años pudiera andar una pulgada, ya me habría internado por el sendero, buscándola entre esa gente deforme, a pesar de que la fosa tiene once millas de circunferencia y no menos de media milla de diámetro. Por su causa me veo entre estos condenados: ellos me indujeron a acuñar los florines, que bien tenían tres quilates de liga.

Vor gut 20 Jahren begeisterte der damalige Intendant Peter Jonas die Opernfans für Barockmusik. Jetzt will sein Nach-Nachfolger Serge Dorny daran anknüpfen: Bei den Opernfestspielen feierte am 15. Juli Händels "Semele" im Prinzregententheater Premiere.

Georg Friedrich Händels späte Oratorien sind eigentlich allesamt verkappte Bühnenwerke. Für kaum ein Werk gilt das mehr als für „Semele“, das Händel 1743 als veritablen Ehekrimi gestaltet. Im Rahmen der Münchner Opernfestspiele hat Regisseur Claus Guth mit bildmächtigen Räumen das Stück neu inszeniert.

Bei den Opernfestspielen in München steht noch eine große Premiere an: Am 15. Juli kommt im Prinzregententheater "Semele" von Georg Friedrich Händel auf die Bühne. Regisseur Claus Guth zeigt Semele als emanzipierte junge Frau, die ihre Zukunft selbst in die Hand nehmen will. Bei der Inszenierung setzt Guth auf scharfe Kontraste in schwarz-weiß - und auf Breakdance.

(And if you'd rather not even hear us making some vague mentions of death and dismemberment, you can skip from 21:40 to 23:05). But we finish up with a lighter look at some more MidJourney fan art. This week's outro is a clip from deepgaze (Game Size) by Akira Sora. In related news Elizabeth got kinda close with the name of the actress who plays Molly Hooper, it's Louise Brealey.

Synopsis Many music lovers will confess they prefer to hear symphonies or operas in the comfort of their own home rather than live in person at a concert hall or theater. On today's date in 1911, the famous French novelist, hypochondriac, and notorious homebody Marcel Proust wrote to his friend, the composer Reynaldo Hahn, that he had just listened to a live afternoon performance of the whole first act of Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger tucked up in bed and planned to hear Debussy's still-new opera Pelléas and Mélisande later that same evening, once again snugly secure in his Parisian apartment. Now, these days with radio, TV, and multiple live-streaming devices, this would be no big deal – but in 1911 how could that be possible? Well, for 60 francs a month -- a small fortune in 1911 -- wealthy Parisians could hear live performances of operas and plays relayed by a special phone line to a home receiver called the “théâtrophone.” First demonstrated in Paris in 1881, by 1890, the “théâtrophone was commercialized and the service continued 1932. Of course, even an enthusiastic subscriber like Proust had to admit the phone line sound quality was “très mal” (“really bad” in plain English) and hardly the same as being there in person.

Backanterna brukar anses vara ett av den atenska tragikern Euripides allra främsta verk, tillika ett av de främsta tragiska verken någonsin. Det berättar historien om kung Pentheus av Thebe, vars familj bestraffas av Dionysos. Orsaken? De har förtalat Dionysos dödliga mor, Semele, och vägrat erkänna honom som son till Zeus. Efter att ha färdats över hela världen befinner sig nu Dionysos i Thebe för att utkräva sin hämnd, genom att inrätta en extatisk mysteriekult i staden.

Angela and I explore the myth of Semele, Mother of Dionysus, and also called "The Mother of Frenzy." Semele was the youngest daughter of Cadmus, an ambitious king with connections to Aphrodite, Aries and more. Semele dared to fall in love with Zeus, and was shamed for it by her sisters. Ultimately, she was duped into requiring Zeus to reveal his true divinity, thereby rendering her to dust. However, Dionysus, being the good son, ensured that she was transformed into a goddess. At times called, "Thyone," meaning something like "Mother of Frenzy," we delve into the different types of frenzy, from panic to spiritual ecstasy. Semele's key themes: desire, shame, love, death, rebirth, frenzy, and ecstasy. Known as The Mother of Dionysus, Semele was venerated as an expression of The Great Mother in areas of the ancient Mediterranean where the cult of Dionysus was prevalent. In ancient Athens, she was honored during a minor festival. Generally, her origins are thought to be in Thebes. She is an expression of The Death Mother that is particularly potent, as she began as a mortal woman and then became a Goddess. keepingherkeys.com

Cadmo, il mitico fondatore della città di Tebe, non solo costruisce da zero una città, dà origine ad un luogo che pare essere il fulcro del mito: i più grandi eroi vi soggiornano o vi combattono, qui ha i natali Edipo dai piedi gonfi, il triste eroe di cui ti ho narrato tanto tempo fa, qui nasce Semele, che diviene la madre di Dioniso, il dio dell'ebbrezza e della pazzia, qui nasce Penteo, cugino e nemico giurato di Dioniso e ancora qui viene al mondo il cacciatore Atteone, destinato ad essere mutato in cervo per volere di Artemide…Ma prima di essere questa città capitale, Tebe era nulla, nient'altro che una vasta landa desolata e inospitale.In questo primo episodio e nei prossimi cercherò di tratteggiare per te questo affresco complesso e affascinante che temporaneamente culmina col matrimonio tra Cadmo, figlio di Agenore con Armonia, figlia di Ares e Afrodite.

Julian began his life surrounded by music with his siblings, and was sent away to music courses by his parents, where he developed a real need to make music and share it with others. Between his classical training at King's College Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Music in London, he explored the world of historical performance at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, where he swiftly learnt Swiss German, how to improvise on the organ, and much more. Soon after his studies, on a course with Mary King and Rufus Norris at English National Opera, Julian discovered some unusual tips and tricks he would later apply in his work with singers. Julian now plays harpsichord at the highest level, coaches, and conducts – including his recent acclaimed recordings of John Eccles' Semele with the Academy of Ancient Music and Cambridge Handel Opera Company, and the world premiere recording of Stephen Dodgson's Margaret Catchpole: Two Worlds Apart for Naxos, and is also the Artistic Director of Cambridge Handel Opera Company. You can read more about Julian on his website here , and find out more about Cambridge Handel Opera Company here.
