Handel’s Giulio Cesare in Egitto (concert performance)
Sunday, May 4, 2025 2 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Harry Bicket by Dario Acosta, Christophe Dumaux by Edouard Brane, Louise Alder by Will Alder
An annual highlight at Carnegie Hall is the “luxurious Sunday afternoon featuring the period-instrument ensemble The English Concert, its artistic director and conductor Harry Bicket, and an impeccably cast and performed Handel opera,” wrote The Wall Street Journal after the ensemble’s 2023–2024 concert. This season, The English Concert turns its attention to Giulio Cesare in Egitto, one of Handel’s most popular Baroque operas. With exquisite ensemble work, charismatic singers, and a playful penchant for the theatrical, this concert performance brings to life the ancient dramas of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and more.
