Three operas on subjects taken from Roman history 2: Giulio Cesare
Opera seria in three acts by Handel. Libretto by NICOLA HAYM (sung in Italian: records)
First performed in London in 1724. Although Julius Caesar is most renowned for his various military campaigns and his political reforms in Rome, Handel's opera is set far from Rome, in Egypt, and deals with Caesar's amorous exploits with Cleopatra following Pompey's final defeat and murder after the first Civil War (48 BC).
As in Monteverdi's Poppea, political and romantic intrigue are closely interwoven, and within (and sometimes without) the conventions of opera seria Handel draws his principal characters just as strongly, in particular his two heroines, the resourceful Cleopatra and Pompey's widow Cornelia. Romans
