CÆSAR next level
I came, saw and conquered was yesterday! Based on Handel's opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto, Cleopatra & 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!
