Andreas Scholl, Doubravka Novotná, Valer Sabadus Headline National Moravian-Silesian Theatre’s ‘Giulio Cesar in Egitto’
By David SalazarThe National Moravian-Silesian Theatre is set to present “Giulio Cesare in Egitto” this summer.
First up is a series of performances at the Antonín Dvořák Theatre starting on June 19, with subsequent shows set for June 21-26. Then the production heads to the Znojmo Music Festival from July 10-13, 2025.
The cast stars Andreas Scholl, Valer Sabadus, Franko Klisović, Doubravka Novotná, Monika Jägerová, Michal Marhold, and Adam Plachetka.
Roman Válek conducts and Jiří Nekvasil directs.
“Authentic Baroque opera may surprise audiences with its vivid energy—characterized by spontaneity, improvisation, and virtuosic tempos that flow naturally from both the soloists and the orchestra,” says Válek, music director of the production and founder of Czech Ensemble Baroque, said per an official press release. “The orchestra will perform in a slightly informal setup, positioned prominently on stage and interacting directly with the soloists—just as it was done in the Baroque era. This creates a uniquely cohesive experience, where musicians and singers are closely connected, forming a vibrant and unified whole.”
The opera is co-produced with the Znojmo Music Festival and the Czech Ensemble Baroque.
