An Ethiopian princess enslaved at the Egyptian court, Aida secretly loves the one man with the power to destroy her homeland. Radamès returns Aida’s love, but the ruthless princess Amneris stands in their way. Whether they betray their country or their love, there is no escape. Intimate human drama within the epic sweep of ancient Egypt—it’s grand opera at its most spectacular. And with a powerhouse of an international cast and magnificent chorus, it’s a musical experience that rivals the Pyramids! Sung in Italian with English texts projected above the stage. Run time is approximately 3 hours including one intermission.
