Description:

Keith Warner's innovative production of "Giulio Cesare" features Bejune Mehta and Christophe Dumaux, two countertenors who are also noteworthy. Julio Cesare is Julius Caesar in English, the greatest hero of ancient Rome, Julius Caesar. The story is that Cesare came to Egypt in pursuit of Pompeo. Egypt was ruled jointly by Cleopatra and her brother Tolomeo, but the two were not on good terms, and each was trying to kick the other out of the kingdom. The story proceeds against the backdrop of Cesare, the hero in love. And Cleopatra, who at first approaches Cesare out of her own lust for power, is gradually attracted to Cesare. Based on a magnificent historical drama, this is a tumultuous drama of love and power in which the relationships of each of the characters are intertwined with various speculations. It is a popular baroque opera that masterfully depicts the various expressions of human emotion: triumph and sorrow, despair and happiness, love and melancholy. This production is directed by world-renowned director Keith Warner. This innovative production combines the historical spectacle blockbuster directed by Mankiewicz and starring Elizabeth Taylor, and the image of the movie "Cleopatra," into a baroque opera. The high caliber of the singers and the banter between them are not to be missed.In particular, Bejune Mehta and Christophe Dumaux, two of the leading countertenors of our time, make the stage stand out even more, and Louise Alder's enchanting Cleopatra is a must-see. And the Vienna Konzentus Musiks, conducted by Ivar Bolton, give a vivid musical performance, which also allows the audience to enjoy the charm of Handel's music to the fullest. King International
