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.

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.
