Background: Curiosity was naturally focused for Francisco Negrin's new production of Giulio Cesare on Andreas Scholl, undertaking the title role for the first time on stage. In his scarlet general's uniform and desert boots, he towered over the diminutive Cleopatra of Inger Dam-Jensen, as they made the most convincing pair of lovers ever in this opera.

The high points of the evening came in Act 3, with a fluid account of 'Aure, deh, pieta' in which Scholl was joined on stage by a violinist as zephyr, and then the duet 'Piu amabile beltà', Scholl's voice blending with that of Dam-Jensen to achieve a floating, ethereal quality.

Lars Ulrik Mortensen conducted Concerto Copenhagen in an exuberant performance of a very full version of the score, almost every aria given with its repeat. The level of the orchestra pit was raised, so that the instrumentalists were visible to the singers on stage; Scholl enjoyed a moment of almost flirtatious rapport with the horn players during 'Va tacito'.
