This “dynamite new production” (Opera Today) of Handel’s Giulio Cesare in Egitto inaugurated Cecilia Bartoli’s first season as artistic Director of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival.
“Bartoli’s Dream Start with Dream Voices” wrote the Vienna Kurier of this uproarious Moshe Leiser/ Patrice Caurier staging, in which Bartoli heads a hand-picked cast including Andreas Scholl, Philippe Jaroussky and Anne Sofie von Otter, with Il Giardino Armonico conducted by Giovanni Antonini.
Aria Cleopatra (nelle vesti di Virtù) V'adoro, pupille, saette d'amore,
le vostre faville
son grate nel sen. Pietose vi brama
il mesto mio core, ch'ogn'ora vi chiama l'amato suo ben.
Aria Cleopatra (in the role of Virtù) V'adoro, pupils, darts of love,
your sparks
they are grateful in the sen. Pietose greets you
my sad heart, which now calls you his beloved ben.
