OPERA NORTH
Presents
GIULIO CESARE
By Handel
"Love triumphant"
Experience an opera with all the colour, drama, passion and epic sweep of a Hollywood blockbuster in this story of Cleopatra’s seduction of Julius Caesar. Murder, battles, plots and counterplots ensue before Caesar and Cleopatra emerge finally triumphant in both love and war. Handel lavished some of his most exciting and seductive music on a score in which every number seems jewel-like in its perfection.
Mezzo Soprano Kathryn Rudge will sing the role of Sesto.
Sung in Italian with English titles

Tynan’s Cleopatra...delivers some of the finest, most tasteful baroque singing you will hear anywhere.
Alfred Hickling, The Guardian ****
Two dozen stunning arias are by turns beguiling, tender, triumphant, menacing or simply storming celebrations of vocal virtuosity…wonderful numbers with admirable musicality and often heartbreaking poignancy.
Richard Morrison, The Times ***
Opera North have assembled an accomplished cast of singers who not only sound wonderful, but inject power, humanity and sexuality into those ancient characters.
Laura Wilson, Bachtrack ****
The Orchestra of Opera North directed by Robert Howarth delivered a stunning performance as a support to the intense drama and passion delivered on stage.
Nicola Harrison, Public Reviews
Sarah Tynan’s highly physical Cleopatra offers genuine sparkle, her sequence of arias the highlights of the evening.
George Hall, The Stage
…it’s the quality of the singing which makes any opera worth seeing, and the singing in this production is consistently impressive.
Graham Rickson, Artsdesk
