This summer, I got to be a part of what is possibly my absolute favorite production of an opera ever: David McVicar's Glyndebourne production of Giulio Cesare in Egitto. I fell it love with it the moment I saw it back in 2007 and hoped I'd be able to be a part of the it someday. In 11 short years, my career has taken me straight into the middle of the action-packed production!

I wanted to commemorate this unforgettable summer with a tribute video, singing and dancing to the iconic Cleopatra's number, shooting it at all the places we rehearsed, took breaks, ate lunch, picnicked during the long intervals, had drinks, laughed, laughed more, drank more....

Thank you David for making my dream come true; Andrew "The Gorgeous" for the most original, beautiful, and fun choreography; Colm for teaching me Nireno AND Cleopatra choreography (although I might have known bits and pieces of them already since 10 years ago, but you definitely made it all clean and presentable to public); Brigitte Reiffenstuel for the gorgeous costumes; Florian for playing on piano so beautifully while transposing; Sirena and Agur for being 100% onboard with this silly idea and running around all over the grounds of Glyndebourne whenever you were offstage, trying to get some nice shots; Morgan for being the best/chill assistant director for the cover show, Pureum 넌 말 안해도 알지 ㅎㅎㅎ?; Nick and Ali for being the cutest dance partners that Cleopatra's servant could ever have....

Love you all, and I miss you already. I hope to see you all again some day soon and do more silly things.

Justin
