Singer

Duet or duel? There's no question that Cecilia Bartoli and Lang Lang are among the greatest virtuosos in their respective fields. But they probably never dreamed that they would one day share the stage together for an entire tour. Their first musical encounter took place in 2008, when Cecilia Bartoli organized a gala concert with many famous colleagues in honor of the 200th anniversary of the death of the celebrated opera singer Maria Malibran. Lang Lang was there too – and the spark flew immediately! The same energy, the same preference for colors and delicate nuances in music, but also the same playful joy in pitting their virtuosity against each other in a humorous duel. The fact that the continuation of their collaboration, already planned back then, is now finally becoming a reality is nothing short of a sensation.

A young woman who desires her own father and is transformed into a tree. A young man who loves himself so much that he fails to notice the advances of a nymph who ultimately exists only as a voice. A goddess who transforms her rival into a spider because of her flawless weaving skills. A man whose statue of a woman perfect for him comes to life. A legendary singer whose return his beloved awaits in the underworld.

Seduction and intrigue: The romance between Cleopatra and Caesar during his conquest of Egypt is one of the most famous love affairs in the world. George Frideric Händel’s opera based on this story was a sensational success. The composer’s contemporaries declared it «beauty of all kinds in abundance». Even today, the magic of this music remains unbroken. In this Opéra de Monte-Carlo production, director Davide Livermore transfers the action to a luxurious cruise ship on the Nile. Cecilia Bartoli sings Cleopatra, one of her most thrilling roles.
