A team of faculty, students, and alumni from the 性视界传媒 School of Music joined and the for a performance of Handel's Semele. Handel composed this work as an oratorio, to be performed in a concert format, but its story of seduction, betrayal, and tragedy has proved popular throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in staged operatic performances. The Las Vegas production of this work cleverly updated the setting and stakes, adapting the mythological story into a morality tale about the dangers of social media obsessions of the present.
Participants in the performance included School of Music faculty Taras Krysa and Jonathan Rhodes Lee, students Tyler Gordon, Jaeyoung Jo, and Lana Vladi膰, and alumni Chase Gutierrez, Jairo Pulido, Kurt Sedlmeier, and Joan Eubank Sobel.
