Giulio Cesare
June 27, 2014 June 29, 2014 July 1, 2014
Handel’s Giulio Cesare is one of the most well-known works in the Baroque operatic canon, with good reason: a tumultuous plot line interweaves love, lust, political ambition, and revenge with some of the most exquisite melodies in all of western music. Conducted by Antony Walker and directed by Chas Rader-Shieber, this new production is designed and built specifically for The Barns.
