Giulio Cesare is a firm favourite with audiences from Handel’s huge opera corpus. This work on an epic scale draws on historical sources, but is first and foremost a love story. The plot, the richness and variety of the arias, and the subtle characterisation across the board are a delight. Handel returns to the theme of love and its power to transcend even personal interests and political ambitions, and offers it the very finest musical setting.
