Set during the Roman Civil War (49-45 BCE), Handel's "Giulio Cesare" is an intense drama filled with romance, tragedy, and political intrigue. The plot centers on Cleopatra's campaign to seduce Julius Caesar in order to enlist his support in her becoming Queen of Egypt.

This acclaimed production is given a modern setting populated by power-hungry oligarchs placed by director Calixto Bieito into 'a digital dream world in a desert paradise.'
