This work – the only opera that follows the career of the Roman Emperor Caligula and his madness, passion and power – was a great success when it was first performed in Venice, largely because of the originality and the fine psychological insight of its libretto and the subtelty of its musical score. There have been some memorable puppet-theatre performances of opera, but with Caligula Le Poème Harmonique and Arcal invite us to savour something quite original by bringing together two artistic traditions that have long been separated: those of Venetian opera and Sicilian puppet-theatre. On stage, the singers and instrumentalists, conducted by Vincent Dumestre, lend their voices and rich sound to the pupi of Mimmo Cuticchio, large stick-puppets belonging to a great theatrical tradition dating back to the seventeenth century.

Caligula, the musical is an Argentine musical tragedy inspired by the life of the Roman emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and ran for four seasons. It was written by Pepe Cibrián and original music by Martín Bianchedi. It premiered in 1983 in Buenos Aires, after the 1976-1983 dictatorship

Agrippina e Drusilla, sorelle di Caligola, tramano contro costui. Caligola sventa la trama ed esilia le sorelle.

Il piano riesce e Messalina diviene la preferita di Caligola. Ma Agrippina vigila, organizza una nuova congiura e questa volta Caligola ci lascia la pelle.

Salito al trono imperiale (nel 37 d.C., appena venticinquenne) succedendo al nonno adottivo Tiberio, Caligola vi rimase fino alla sua morte, avvenuta meno di quattro anni dopo. Un regno breve ma segnato da un'infinita teoria di violenze, crudeltà, assassinii, orge, incesti e inenarrabili stravaganze.

L'imperatore romano Caligola, impegnato a mostrare la sua virilità davanti al popolo durante la festa dedicata a Priapo, si accorge di essere vittima dell'impotenza. Perciò segue il consiglio di recarsi, accompagnato dal servitore Cassio, in una clinica gestita dal mago Barnardus e dalle sue ancelle, per seguire una terapia a base di esercizi ginnici, massaggi e trattamenti sadici. A sua insaputa si intrufolano nella clinica l'imperatrice sua moglie, il cugino Tiberio e la consorte Livia, che tentano di avvelenarlo, e due individui intenti a realizzare un complotto.
