Director Peter Sellars helms this provocative adaptation of George Frideric Handel's opera "Giulio Cesare," sung in the original Italian by soprano Susan Larson (who plays Cleopatra) and countertenor Jeffrey Gall (in the role of Julius Caesar) but set in a very different locale: a futuristic Middle East. Sellars personally wrote the English subtitles included in this version to match the tone he intended for his vision.

In this modern-day presentation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's beloved opera "Le Nozze di Figaro," acclaimed American director Peter Sellars moves the action from a castle in Seville to a Trump Tower penthouse on New York City's Fifth Avenue. Sellars's contemporary retelling of a classic musical tale is one of three performances in a Mozart series the others are "Don Giovanni" and "'Così Fan Tutte."
