George Frideric Handel composed Hercules for his 1744-45 oratorio season as the secular foil to one of his most ambitious sacred dramas, Belshazzar, hoping to repeat the success of the previous season's Samson/Semele pairing. Like Semele, Hercules, which Handel called 'A Musical Drama', is an English opera in all but name & shares its theme of the destructive power of sexual jealousy.
