Giulio Cesare
08 May 2024/20h00/ Belgium / Gent
Caesar must die, that much is agreed. In Händel’s opera, however, history’s most famous emperor escapes his death and finds eternal life. In Shakespeare’s eponymous play, Julius Caesar is savagely murdered.
Together with a group of acting students, the singers of the International Opera Academy question Caesar’s mortality. Using a combination of theatre texts and Baroque arias, they explore the meaning of Caesar’s death (and life).
