Giulio Cesare

Glyndebourne's brilliant production of Handel's Giulio Cesare starring Sarah Connolly and Danielle de Niese. Widely considered one of Handel's best operas, Giulio Cesare gets a turn-of-the-century revamp in David McVicar's stunning production. Dame Sarah Connolly gives a commanding performance as the power-hungry Julius Caesar who falls madly in love with a flirty and modern Cleopatra (Danielle de Niese). With captivating staging and a perfectly paced score, thanks to conductor William Christie and The Orchestra of The Age of Enlightenment, this production is a feast for the eyes and ears.
