Handel’s Giulio Cesare is a majestic opera in which the characters are driven to extreme feelings and actions, and in which the music strikes the heart. A story of passion and revenge, featuring a treasure trove of great arias with immense dramatic intensity, the opera follows the events surrounding Julius Caesar’s conquest of Egypt, as well as his uneasy alliance and romance with fabled Egyptian queen, Cleopatra.

James Conway's 2017 production returns accompanied by the period instrument specialists of the Old Street Band, conducted by Sergey Rybin.
