Book excerpt: Giulio Cesare in Egitto is Handel's most famous opera. Its story is characterized by love, intrigue, murder, betrayal, vengeance, despair, and triumph, sufficiently whetting your intellectual curiosity. At the same time, the opera contains arias and ensembles that express a wide range of timeless human emotions, which will touch your heart and soul.The book consists of line-by-line translations of Italian and English. With Italian on the left and English on the right column, the book's layout makes it easy to follow both languages. While most translations abide by the principle of line-by-line translation, the convoluted syntax of certain parts of the original text makes it impossible to do so. We wish that readers are open-minded to this aspect of translation.The book contains a list of main characters and a synopsis of the opera. Most descriptions of characters' movements, emotions, and scene descriptions are deliberately omitted so that readers can easily follow dialogues while they read the text and listen to the opera simultaneously. However, when omission might create possible confusion in understanding the storyline, they remain intact. All soliloquies (Fra se) are parenthesized.
