Concieving a second production of Julius Caesar after his earlier Sydney one was such a hit was of course daunting to Francisco Negrin. But with the same designer and their love for the pice a new show was born, taking the best of the first and adding experience and an extraordinary conductor. The piece, as it had been to Australian audiences with version 1, was a revelation to Danish audiences and the show immediately gained a cult following, with people sleeping outside the theatre to get last minutes seats the following morning. The reviews were even more extraordinary than for the Sydney version and the show has been released on DVD. The production won the Danish Reumert award for best production of the year and was revived two seasons later.
