Why watch Aida
Why watch Aida
Aida showcases Verdi's unmatched ability to weave the nuances of a story through each piece, blending heartbreak, longing, passion, triumph, and more into each piece. Opening at the Metropolitan Opera House, Aida is a brilliant production that uses set and costume design, lighting, animation, and projection to bring ancient Egypt to life on the stage.
The story
Aida, an Ethiopian princess, is taken hostage during a war with Egypt where she now serves Princess Amneris. As both find themselves in love with general Radamès, the trio must make heartbreaking choices that test their love and their loyalties.
