It remains one of the most popular of Handel's Italian-language operas, enjoyed for its many gorgeous melodies, inspired orchestration, and exciting plot: the time-honored story of Caesar and Cleopatra in Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the composer's mature works, \u003cem\u003eGiulio Cesare\u003c\/em\u003e offers an impressive stage spectacle, punctuated with scenes of great dramatic power.
