ETO: Giulio Cesare production shot - On the left, a man wearing tunics and boots is stood at the side of the stage, mid-voice. On the right, a man in black, religious clothing, including a crucifix around his neck, faces the man on the left. In the middle, some steps lead up to an upper platform where a woman wearing a beautiful white dress and a blue velvet cape with a gold trim stands in a golden-lit alcove. She wears a grand looking headpiece and stares straight ahead. There are candles in brackets either side of her. The background is made up of a textured wall bathed in turquoise light and long blue curtains on both sides.

ETO: Giulio Cesare production shot - At stage level, a woman (on the left) in a blue dress faces a man wearing a smart, long black coat with golden lines and buttons running the whole length. The woman touches the man's chest with her right hand and looks up into his eyes. The man stares back at her with a cold, hard look in his face. He has his left hand around his sheaved sword. On the right, at the top of some steps, a man watches on. He wears a plain black long coat and black boots and his left hand is holding onto the hilt of his sheaved sword. The background is made up of a wooden-textured wall
