  Garsington Opera at Wormsley, Stokenchurch
  Annilese Miskimmon’s beautifully sung but sardonic production lends the saga of the gods some of the vividness and surreality of early 60s Hollywood Annilese Miskimmon’s sardonic new production of Semele reimagines Handel’s parable of desire and ambition as a romcom that turns increasingly malign and surreal.
