Soprano Julie Fuchs about Handel’s Giulio Cesare | Dutch National Opera
Caesar and Cleopatra, passion and war
Romance and power take centre stage in Handel’s Giulio Cesare, set against the backdrop of Ancient Rome and Egypt. In the midst of the Roman Civil War (49-45 BCE), Giulio Cesare (Julius Caesar) discovers that his rival Pompeo has been cruelly executed by the Egyptian king Tolomeo. While Pompeo’s widow Cornelia mourns her husband, and his son Sesto vows vengeance on the man who killed his father, Tolomeo’s sister and wife Cleopatra decides to seduce Cesare in order to enlist his support and tip the balance of power in her favour.
