Julius Caesar (1984 TV Movie) was directed by John Michael Phillips. The opera was composed by George Frideric Handel.
The extraordinary Dame Janet Baker portrays Julius Caesar. It's worth watching the opera to see her act and hear her sing. Valerie Masterson's beautiful soprano is perfect for the role of Cleopatra.
The English National Opera orchestra and chorus do an admirable job. This is an opera that's worth seeking out if you enjoy Handel's work. It has a strong IMDb rating of 7.6. I thought it was better than that, and rated it 9.
