The arias of “Giulio Cesare in Egitto” by Handel and paradigm of the opera seria of the eighteenth century, distil so much tenderness and love as malice, passion, sadness and despair.
They tell the story of love between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra in an atmosphere of exotic and political intrigues of a realism that can be translated to all periods of history.
