Cecilia Bartoli & Andreas Scholl: Giulio Cesare (Handel) - V’adoro pupille (excerpt)

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.
