The die is cast once Pompey's corpse sprawls headless in the sand and Julius Caesar straddles the earth like a colossus, the unrivalled ruler of the Roman world. Will he really risk losing all for love of Cleopatra, the seductive Egyptian queen? New Production. The triumphant climax of the composer's Royal Academy years, and arguably the grandest, most sumptuously tuneful opera seria of them all, Handel's Julius Caesar returns to ENO's repertoire for the first time since its legendary 1979 staging first established the company's reputation as London's reigning ?House of Handel'. Running time: 3hrs 40mins
