Singer

Handel turned one of the world’s most famous love stories into one of his greatest hits. An opera, which is a dramatic love story and political thriller. When Cesare and Cleopatra met in Alexandria in BC 48 both were caught up in power struggles – he for supremacy in Rome, she for the Egyptian throne. The dramatic events taking place around them turn, in matter of seconds, into situations resulting in murder and manslaughter.

Giulio Cesare in Egitto

Oper Frankfurt

Mitridate, re di Ponto

House for Mozart

A treat for Advent - three singers who enjoy close ties with the company have come up with a contemplative evening of operatic arias and Christmassy music. The young countertenor Iurii Iushkevich made his debut in Frankfurt last spring, as Nireno in Giulio Cesare in Egitto, and can be heard again this season as Unulfo in Rodelinda and Arsace in a new production of Partenope. Recent engagements have taken him to the Vienna State Opera, Carnegie Hall in New York and the Philharmonie in Berlin.
