In the spring of 2019, the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, presented a critically acclaimed European tour of Handel's opera Semele, which included the Alexandra Palace Theatre in London, where this live recording took place. Semele had not been performed by John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Ensemble since their original recording in the 1980s, and this recording gives listeners the opportunity to hear a fuller version of the work

A glamorous team of young soloists joined the Monteverdi Ensemble to bring the story of Semele to life, including the celebrated English soprano Louise Alder, who takes the title role, and the young tenor Hugo Hymas, who portrays the amorous Jupiter.
Quotes:
- "A better interpretation can hardly be found". - (El Punt Avui)
- "The greatest pleasure of the evening was generated by the wonderfully clear and rhythmically alert singing of the Monteverdi Choir" - (Rupert Chistiansen, - ???? The Telegraph)
- "The Monteverdi Choir was in scintillating form and captivating in its ability to give meaning to every word, every syllable" - (Laurent Bury - Forum Opera)
- "The show is a revelation" - (Biagio Scuderi - Amadeus)
- "Under the precise direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the sound of the English Baroque soloists is lush, round and sharp" - (Frédérique Epin - Olyrix)
- "Semele's score is a glorious mix of irresistible solo arias - some virtuosic, some lyrical, sensual and evocative, ensembles, duets, accompanied recitatives and (unlike his operas) imposing choruses. Even more so than when I first heard it nearly forty years ago, I feel that Semele's time has finally come." - (John Eliot Gardiner)
