  • Miss Larson sings Cleopatra with great majesty. Ridiculous production but the singing on the whole is distinguished.

  • Some singing performances makes me cry because it touches me, somehow - this is one of them. This music is magical and this has to be one the most beautiful songs ever written.

  • i'm not so sure you couldn't

  • @crewmantle I love the singers in this also, but I couldn't even watch the production. It was so ridiculous that it took away from the story. Caesar and Cleopatra were so wonderful, I wish they could have been in a more practical version....

  • What wonderful acting! Caesar is so enthralled he is practically panting and ready to pass out ... looks like he is on the verge of having an orgasm in his pants!

  • I wish you could seduce a man in real life this way.

  • All hail Sellars and company!

  • What a beautiful voice! So rich and full of color!

  • is that guy a countertenor???

  • This is supposed to be a love song! Wham Bam Thankyou Mam!

  • The harp obligato and the small concert just highlighted some magical singing. Thanks for posting this.

  • Out of context it seems weird, but it makes sense when you see the whole thing--all 4.5 hours of it! It's a wild and beautiful and provocative production, as strange as the opera itself. Also it's from the mid-1980s.
