Opera Di Concertisti is excited to present highlights from Aida. Aida was composed by Giuseppe Verdi and premiered in Cario in 1851. It is a story of jealousy, treachery, death, love and transformation. The characters in this production include Aida, Amneris, Radames, and Amonasro. Amneris and Aida are both the princesses of their respective lands. The opera starts with the break out of war. Aida is captured by the Egyptians. As the prize for victory, Radames is promised to Amneris by her father, the Pharaoh. Like the sides of the pyramids, the work is built on triangles, well love triangles. The work hinges on the fatal love triangle between Aida, Amneris, and Radames.
Aida is torn between her love of country, family, and for Radames.
Radames has been promised to Amneris by her father the King, but is secretly in love with Aida. Amneris suspects and sets traps for the lovers. Aida is the first to be caught. Meanwhile, Amonosro, Aidas father, plots to save his country by tricking Radames into treason using his love Aida as bait. The guards rush in and Radames is condemned to death. The opera closes with Aida and Radames in the tomb, with their love escaping into the afterlife, while Amneris finally calls for forgiveness
The show runs about two hours with intermission. Buy AIDA jewelry at the show.
