The Die is Cast: Handel's Julius Caesar Set to Knock Out London, Announces LondonTown.com

    LONDON, ENGLAND, September 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Audiences are set to gasp as Pompey's corpse lies splattered on the stage - just one scene from world famous Handel's operatic portrayal of history's beloved Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar. First staged in 1979, this new production of a classic story returns to London care of the English National Opera. Full details, including tickets, seating and booking hotels in London can be found on LondonTown.com.

Directing this new production of Julius Caesar is world famous choreographer, Michael Keegan-Dolan. Returning to the English National Opera with his own Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre, Keegan-Dolan's production will be the first time Handel's interpretation has been performed in over 30 years. Keegan-Dolan, master of production and casting, has assembled a fine collection of singers, to be led by American countertenor Lawrence Zazzo. Zazzo plays protagonist Caesar himself and is joined by Chicago-born singer Anna Christy who portrays love interest and history's most infamous Egyptian, Queen Cleopatra. Expert in all things baroque, and with a penchant for the Classics (previous ENO credits include story of worthy twins Castor and Pollux), Christian Curnyn conducts.

Audiences should expect the unexpected with the Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre's previous performances being notably controversial - but nevertheless brilliant.

The London Coliseum provides a truly apt setting for the staging of this classic opera. This magnificent building allows for high drama, enabling sounds to soar and emotions to run high.
