Ceci's star ascendant, unbound by celestial strata, whether she's kicking it from the Salzburger Festspiele admin offices as the newly-minted artistic director or kicking it from the stage in Haendel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto.
This past May (and reprised this August) Ceci is/was Cleopatra in Haendel's aforementioned jam, joined by Andreas Scholl's Cesare, Anne Soffie von Otter's Cornelia and Philippe Jaroussky's Sesto. For those of us who couldn't be in Salzburg to snap the Salzach from the Sacher's suite balconies or to brunch on Irischer Räucherlachs at Demel, an intrepid hero has uploaded the Haendel masterpiece onto the 'tubes.
