Artiste: Pinchgut Opera

A rare 17th-century English Baroque spectacular, designed to delight the Restoration crowd, is given a contemporary twist in Sydney. 

Handel's Giulio Cesare is heavily abridged in Sydney, but generally well-performed musically, albeit with a rather awkward staging by Neil Armfield. 

Pinchgut Opera presents magnificent music and a timeless ethical debate on faith versus sectarian difference.
