Julius Caesar in Egypt

French

Approved

Bringing the opera seria to its peak, our brilliant Saxon has a great time depicting the fickle loves of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. The first seduces the second out of interest, but ends up succumbing to its charms, a feeling that the Roman conqueror is not long in sharing, against the backdrop of the race for power between Cleopatra and Ptolemy, the desire for revenge on Sextus and rivalry. between Ptolemy and Achilla. Rest assured, the Egyptian war and political bickering ended well: Caesar and his sweetheart triumph in Alexandria, passion and power combine with sensitivity and panache, illustrated by a series of airs, each more exciting than the last. others. In the opera pit, you
will enjoy meeting Philippe Jaroussky at the helm of his ensemble Artaserse, afterIl primo omicidio by Scarlatti last May.
