Though sung in the original Italian, Handel's opera is relocated by American director Peter Sellars to the oil-rich Middle East in the unspecified Future. Julius Caesar is the unquestioned leader of a major world power, on a visit to the number-one global trouble spot. The drama unfolds in an exclusive international hotel, still under construction but already suffering from terrorist attacks. There he confronts Ptolemy, a teenaged self-styled local potentate, and fatefully encounters Cleopatra, Ptolemy's beautiful yet spoilt elder sister.
