David McVicar sets his production of Giulio Cesare in early 20th century, during a period of British colonialism in Egypt. Highlights of his production include a brilliant performance by Danielle de Niese, one of opera's youngest stars, in the coveted role of Cleopatra. The opera is conducted by William Christie, one of the most celebrated conductors of Baroque and Early Music. This production won the 2006 South Bank Show Award for Opera.
