Video Clip: Giulio Cesare

Early in the opera, Cleopatra taunts her brother Tolomeo for his ambitions to rule Egypt. Below is a video clip from the orchestra dress rehearsal of Giulio Cesare featuring Lyubov Petrova as Cleopatra, Gerald Thompson as Tolomeo, and Anthony Roth Costanzo as Nireno. Conductor David Stern leads the Glimmerglass Opera Orchestra.
"Non disperar, chi sa? se al regno non l'avrai, avrai sorte in amor. Mirando una beltàin essa troveraia consolar un cor."
"Don't worry. You may never be king, but perhaps you'll be luck in love. Who knows? A beautiful woman should be challenge enough for you."
