Semele Handel’s 1743 opera Semele-based on the myth of a mortal seduced by Jupiter,who pays a price when she ambitiously asks to see the god in his full splendor-is proving catnip to Seattle Opera’s creative team. Tomer Zvulun’s production promises “a goddess with winged heels and fingertips that shoot lasers, a god whose vast cloak shines with all the constellations of the night sky, and a nymph emerging from a giant clamshell.” There’ll be vocal fireworks, too, with Stephanie Blythe taking the role of Juno; an incomparable Fricka in SO’s Ring cycles, she pretty much nails the jealous-goddess thing. Gary Thor Wedow conducts; sung in English with English supertitles.

Metropolis It’s not unusual for a film to be cheered by viewers; it is unusual for a film score to be cheered. One of the most memorable moments in any Degenerate Art Ensemble performance over the years (which is saying something) came during their live accompaniment to Fritz Lang’s 1927 expressionistic sci-fi film, a surreal transformation scene that had the thrilled audience roaring. Composers Haruko Nishimura, Joshua Kohl, Ian Rashkin, Tim Young, Troy Swanson, and Ambrose Nortness contributed to the score, and tonight the DAE is reviving it-with 40 new minutes of music and played by a 17-piece orchestra-15 years after its premiere for 10,000 viewers at Gas Works Park. The Paramount, 911 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101 $10 Monday, March 2, 2015, 7pm
