The excellent British mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly plays Giulio Cesare in this Glyndebourne staging. In this scene, Cesare is suddenly enamoured of the young woman who seeks an audience with him. Cesare sings with flirtatious tenderness,
"...E la tua chioma i cori.
Non è sì vago e bello
il fior nel prato,
quant'è vago e gentile
il tuo bel volto.
D'un fiore il pregio a quello
solo vien dato,
ma tutto un vago aprile
è in te raccolto."
---
"...And your tresses enchain hearts.
The flower in the meadow
Is not so charming or so fair
As the loveliness and sweetness
Of your beauteous face.
It can he compared
Only to the loveliness of a flower,
But all of a fair April
Is joined in you."
Cleopatra (American soprano Danielle de Niese) is disguised here as her servant, Lydia, for certain political and romantic schemes of her own.
Aria from the multi-award-winning, famous and fabulous, funny and moving production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" by DavidMcVicar, set in late 19th-century colonial Egypt with the Redcoats keeping Cesare's Roman Empire running.
With William Christie directing the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Superb British mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Cesare sings the aria,
"Va tacito e nascosto
quand'avido è di preda
l'astuto cacciator.
E chi è mal far disposto,
non brama che si veda
l'inganno del suo cor."
---
"The cunning hunter moves silently and stealthily
when he is eager for prey.
And he who is disposed to evil
Does not wish the deceitfulness
Of his heart to be seen."
...in a scene shrewdly staged as a choreographed confrontation between the scheming Egyptian King Tolomeo (French counter-tenor Christophe Dumaux) and Cesare. The aria is sung as a bold warning from Cesare to Tolomeo, who has just invited the Roman emperor-general to his palace.
Recitative and aria from the multi-award-winning, famous and fabulous, funny and moving production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" by DavidMcVicar, set in late 19th-century colonial Egypt with the Redcoats keeping Cesare's Roman Empire running.
With William Christie directing the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Superb British mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Cesare gives an affecting rendition of the Roman general's aria lamenting his present defeat, having crawled onto the shore at the port of Alexandria.
Apologies, as this is only an incomplete excerpt from the aria taken from the multi-award-winning, famous and fabulous, funny and moving production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" by DavidMcVicar, set in late 19th-century colonial Egypt with the Redcoats keeping Cesare's Roman Empire running.
