Danielle De Niese steps in at the Met's Giulio Cesare.
by Paul J. Pelkonen
Danielle De Niese was only going to the opera last night.
The Australian soprano is not on the Metropolitan Opera's roster of singers this season. She was planning on attending the second performance of the company's new production of Giulio Cesare last night, sitting in general manager Peter Gelb's parterre box and watching the baroque extravaganza starring David Daniels in the title role and Natalie Dessay as Cleopatra.
