The American soprano Danielle de Niese plays Cleopatra and the excellent British mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly plays Giulio Cesare in this Glyndebourne 2005 staging.
In this scene, Cesare and Cleopatra sing their final duet. Cleopatra has just been crowned Queen of Egypt, now part of the Roman Empire, as consort to Roman emperor-general Giulio Cesare.
CLEOPATRA: "Caro!"
CESARE: "Bella!"
CLEOPATRA e CESARE: "Più amabile beltà mai non si troverà del tuo bel volto. In me non splenderà In te non splendera né amor né fedeltà da te disciolto. da me disciolto."
---
CLEOPATRA: "My love!"
CESARE: "My fair one!"
CLEOPATRA and CEASAR: "A more amiable beauty Will never be found Than your fair face. In me nothing shines. In you nothing shines Neither love, nor fidelity, Apart from you. Apart from me."
Delightful romantic duet from final act of the multi-award-winning, famous and fabulous, funny and moving production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" by DavidMcVicar, set in late 19th-century colonial Egypt with the Redcoats keeping Cesare's Roman Empire running.
With William Christie directing the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
From Glyndebourne, August 2005.
If you like this, do go and buy the video and get the entire opera! (It's really worth it!)
[Also check out "Non è si vago e bello," "Va tacito e nascosto", etc. from same production.]
