- Summary
- A studio performance of one of Handel\u0027s best known operas by the English National Opera. The opera, a tale of love and power, was first performed in 1724 at the Haymarket Theatre in London using castrati singers in the heroes roles. This lavish production follows modern practice in using women in these parts, and in particular, Dame Janet Baker creates the virtuoso role of Julius Caesar.
