Giulio Cesare in Egitto

Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto comes to Grimeborn in a newly conceived intimate staging by New Trinity Baroque, conducted from the harpsichord by Predrag Gosta. Set amid political intrigue, seduction and revenge, this Baroque masterpiece follows the fateful encounter between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra in a drama of ambition, grief and desire.
Performed by an international cast and a chamber orchestra on period instruments, the production brings Handel's extraordinary score to life with immediacy, elegance and dramatic intensity. Praised internationally for its vibrant performances and commitment to historically informed practice, New Trinity Baroque presents one of opera's greatest works in the close-up, theatrically charged atmosphere of the Grimeborn Opera Festival.
