If Giulio Cesare is Handel's most popular and therefore most-performed opera today, it is probably due to the subject of the exotic love affair between Caesar and Cleopatra, which always arouses lively public interest. The fact that the opera is also a compositional masterpiece and contains some of Handel's catchiest and most challenging arias makes its realization all the more appealing. The fact that the context and the location of the plot (Egypt occupied by Rome around 50 BC) also offers an opportunity to think about orientalism and colonization makes it an irresistibly topical lesson in our times (unfortunately again).
Although historical figures and exotic locations are characteristic of 18th-century libretti, they ultimately only serve as a non-binding framework for describing variations on an always the same, moralizing, didactic, European heroic epic: a long-suffering one, but endowed with virtue, patience, and courage Hero finally overcomes all cruel adversaries and strokes of fate. Operas of this type are only performed today because some composers managed to subversively turn this schema upside down and transform stereotypical stage figures into comprehensible feeling and experiencing individuals by means of nuanced musical characterizations. Handel is at the fore here. His gift for certain moods, dramatic situations,
In the meantime, however, a further political-performance-practical intervention has become necessary. Just as Handel transforms distant and unfamiliar historical figures into close, familiar ones, it is now time to integrate distant and supposedly exotic locations into one's own world of experience in order not to fall into the pitfalls - even if only out of misunderstood fidelity to the work of an orientalism that is no longer tenable. Our production therefore places the action in the roaring twenties of the last century, in an ambience characterized by Egyptomania, the Jazz Age, Egypt's finally achieved independence and an openness to the collision of diverse cultural currents. It is by no means a matter of falsifying or distorting the score,

Giulio Cesare in Egitto (London 1724) — »Cafe Nireno« at the end of the world!

Jazz, drugs, sex and war business, filled with life, emotions and intrigues at every moment!
In Cairo in the 20s, the world powers collide in a confined space. Images of the enemy are solidified, foreignness and megalomania, the conquest of the unknown and the deep human desire for domination, love and recognition pave their way. The rise and fall of a world empire are always close together – everything has its price! (Martina Veh)
