Witness one of opera’s most epic stories of passion, betrayal, and war.
Behold the tragic romance of Aida, an Ethiopian princess enslaved by the Egyptians, and Radames, an Egyptian general who must choose between his love for her and his allegiance to his country. As war rages between their countries, Aida and Radames must choose between loyalty and desire. Their romance is threatened by the wrath of Amneris, the Egyptian princess who also loves Radames, and Amonasro, the Ethiopian king who is Aida’s father. You will be captivated by Verdi’s masterful score, which includes the famous Triumphal March and the aria “Celeste Aida” in this spectacular concert version of one of the most popular operas of all time, featuring stunning music and unforgettable voices.
