Must he die? Alive or dead, the notorious dictator Julius Caesar causes tempers to flare.
Director Tom Goossens brings two artistic heavyweights to the scene: G.F. Händel’s opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto and W. Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. In Händel’s work, Caesar is alive and kicking; Shakespeare sees him savagely murdered.
The combination of both works results in a purified performance with equally honest music by B’Rock Orchestra. Singers of the International Opera Academy and theatre students plunge into Baroque arias and dramatic gold. Caesar as you never saw him before: in a Roman history soap with humor and historical respect.

Giulio Cesare is part of B’Rock Encounters, generously supported by the players of the National Lottery.
This production is realized with the support of the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian Federal Government through Flanders Tax Shelter.
