Opera Aida

Aida opera première goes back to the Year 1871; Today the work holds a central place in the operatic canon, receiving performances every year around the world.

The stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, is a perfect place to live the era of Aida and feel the original ambiance of the inauguration performance.

Aida is an eternal story, set in ancient Egypt, portraying love and betrayal against the backdrop of war. The Ethiopian Princess, Aida, was held captive in Egypt; she fell in love with the Egyptian military commander General Radames, Captain of the Guard, who was chosen to lead a war with Ethiopia. Aida was torn between her love for Radames and for her country. The story is a roller coaster of emotions told through Verdi’s powerful music.

Studying Egypt’s history, music and geography, Verdi composed varied Egyptian melodies harmonically, which was clear in the opening of the third act with the Nile scene. The composer had developed an extraordinarily clever ear for orchestral effects and theatrical atmosphere.

• Acclaimed for the beauty, precision and expressive qualities of their singing, the National Choir of Ukraine (DUMKA) Choruses have been an important part of the Orchestra’s programming since their founding in 1909.
