| Opera: Aida |
Verdi's Aida is one of the most spectacular, most popular and most frequently performed Italian operas. The music is a splendid tapestry of texture and colour, and is a vivid illustration of the genius of Giuseppe Verdi. Set against the backdrop of the warring strife between Egypt and Ethiopia, the story tells the tragic love between Aida, an Ethiopian princess turned slave in Egypt, and Radames, Captain of the Guard on her enemy's side. The opera in four acts re-creates the opulence and magnificence of the land of the Pharoahs, don't miss it! |
