Aida
Verdi

Graeme Murphy’s production of Verdi’s Aida is back to fill the stage of the Opera Theatre, Sydney Opera House, with soaring voices and glittering pageantry.

“This is not only grand, it’s downright entertaining.” THE AUSTRALIAN 

At its heart, Aida is a tale of star-crossed lovers. Radamès is the general of the Egyptian army, Aida is an Ethiopian princess, and the two are on opposite sides of a bitter war. Aida is captured in battle and given to the Egyptian princess Amneris as a slave. Radamès falls for Aida, Amneris falls for Radamès, and Aida is left to choose between her love for Radamès, and love for her country.

Aida is the stuff of operatic legend. Gold-clad warriors and lithe dancers traverse the stage, pyramids emblazoned with mysterious hieroglyphs loom from the shadows, while Verdi’s moving arias tell the epic story of two peoples at war.
