Handel's "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" - yesterday and tomorrow. The baroque ensemble Stella Maris meets the Arabic Music Institute Berlin.
I came, saw and conquered was yesterday! Based on Handel's opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto, Kleopqtra & Cæsar meet on an equal footing. A new sound is created: Baroque music meets Arabic music.
The concert performance CÆSAR - next level by the baroque ensemble Stella Maris, together with the Arabic Music Institute Berlin and the vocal soloists, presents Handel's opera in a new light. A narrator conveys this new perspective and light art opens up the world of imagination. Approaching each other, actively listening and appreciating each other is the motto - not just for Caesar and Cleopatra!
The intercultural and interdisciplinary collaboration of the artists and the concise text work of the writer Claudia Kühn, who elegantly spins the red thread, has created an innovative performance that is aimed equally at children, young people and adults.
