Handel’s Giulio Cesare turns history into high drama in one of his most celebrated opera serias. When Caesar arrives in Egypt and discovers Pompeo has been murdered, he is drawn into a dangerous game between Cleopatra and her brother Tolomeo as they battle for the Egyptian throne

Cleopatra hatches a bold plan disguised as a damsel in distress to win Cesare’s interest and support, only to find her performance becoming something more real ❤️ Disguises, ambition, and shifting loyalties… nothing is quite what it seems.

The aria compares Cesare to a “crafty Huntsman, in pursuit of prey”, making the prominent horn part a clever nod to the instrument’s traditional hunting origins. Handel’s imaginative writing helped expand the horn’s role in the world of opera orchestration! ⬇️
