Julius Caesar in Egypt

Approved

Giulio Cesare in Egitto Händel

Libreto: Giacomo Francesco Bussani, Nicola Francesco Haym

U prvom činu scena je obogaćena zanimljivim detaljem, svaki je solist iza sebe imao ekran na kojemu se u krupnom planu vidjelo lice svakoga od njih i emotivni
doživljaj sniman kamerom u trenutku nastupa. Scena je obogaćena dijelovima rekvizite iz već odigranih opera, a posebno je zamjetan odmak od tragedije u sitnim komičnim međuodnosima među protagonistima, koji ponekad karikiraju veličinu i snagu patnje, ali i ljubavi i osvete.

No, ono što je definitivno ponovno osvojilo publiku, koja je pljeskala vrlo često na otvorenoj sceni, bila je prekrasna, bogata, barokna Händelova glazba i sjajni solisti koji su savršeno vladali glasovnim bravurama uz mnoštvo glumačko-scenskih zahtjeva redatelja. Virtuozno raspjevana Diana Haller, milozvučna Anamarija Knego, melodizna Michaela Selinger i tamna i emotivna Dubravka Šeparović Mušović, kao i čvrsta i čista Sonja Runje, uz izvrstan muški dio solista: Daria Berčića, Marka Fortunata i Ivana Šimatovića, publici su pružili neizmjeran glazbeni užitak koji je bio upotpunjen izvrsnim orkestrom.

Libretto: Giacomo Francesco Bussani, Nicola Francesco Haym

In the first act, the scene is enriched with interesting details; each soloist had a screen behind them showing their face, so the emotional experience recorded by the camera in the moment of performance could be seen in close-up. The scene is enriched with parts of props from previously performed operas, and the departure from the tragedy is especially noticeable in the small comic relationships between the protagonists, who sometimes caricature the magnitude of power and suffering, but also of love and revenge.

But what definitely won over the audience again, leading them to applaud before the open stage, was the beautiful, rich, baroque Händel music and the brilliant soloists who perfectly mastered the vocal feats with the multitude of stage-acting demands of the director. Virtuosically sung by Diana Haller, the melodious Anamarija Knego, the melodic Michaela Selinger, the dark and emotional Dubravka Šeparović Mušović and the strong and pure Sonja Runje, and an excellent set of male soloists, Dario Bercich, Marko Fortunato and Ivan Šimatović, the show provided the audience with immeasurable musical pleasure complemented by an excellent orchestra.
