Giulio Cesare in Egitto (Julius Caesar in Egypt) (HWV 17) is an Italian opera in three acts by George Frideric Handel. The libretto was written by Nicola Francesco Haym. It was first performed in London on February 20, 1724. The opera was an immediate success. Handel revived it (with changes) in 1725, 1730, and 1732; it was also performed in Paris, Hamburg, and Brunswick. Like Handel's other works in the opera seria genre, Giulio Cesare fell into oblivion in the 19th century.
