New on Naxos: September 2025 Highlights

The September NEW ON NAXOS spotlights Calixto Bieito’s staging of George Frideric Handel’s Giulio Cesare in Egitto. Set during the Roman Civil War, this gripping drama – rich with romance, tragedy, and political intrigue – centres on Cleopatra’s efforts to seduce Julius Caesar and secure his support in her quest to become Queen of Egypt. The cast features rising opera stars with the Dutch National Opera: French soprano Julie Fuchs as Cleopatra and Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Molinari as Sesto. Returning in the title role is renowned French countertenor Christophe Dumaux, widely acclaimed for his Handel interpretations.
