Work: Giulio Cesare in Egitto, (Julius Caesar in Egypt) HWV 17

Laurent Pelly's Night in the Museum production of Giulio Cesare is finally staged at the New National Theatre, Tokyo, after its 2020 pandemic cancellation.

The French soprano delivers an A-list performance as the Egyptian queen, donning a variety of Hollywood guises at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

James Conway's production for English Touring Opera returns in a trimmed-down, single-evening guise. 

Carsen's modern mise en scène of Handel's opera did not stand out for originality, but for finesse and elegance and that was substantially appreciated by the audience.

In 1724, Handel's Giulio Cesare was a vehicle for star singers Senesino and Francesca Cuzzoni. Maria Sanner and Lucie Chartin step into their shoes with great success for this Opera North revival.
