Semele as a cowgirl who is not singing, but is sung to:
Semele/Joseph, Act II, Scene 3, Number 37, ENO 1997
Semele almost facesits (cf. Under the Sink (XXX, NSW):
Semele/Joseph, Act II, Scene 3, Number 39, ENO 1997
Semele as a singing cowgirl:
Semele/Joseph, Act II, Scene 3, Number 39, ENO 1997
(Note how Rosemary Joseph can sing beautifully even while laying flat on her back!
I didn't know that was possible.)
Here Semele and a courtier have a little Sapphic interlude:
Semele/Joseph, Act II, Scene 3, Number 43, ENO 1997

By Jove, whether it is Nero or Jove,
these women always get the top rank as well as the top! :-)
