Programme

The plot

Aida is not only a monumental opera set in an idealized Egypt, but a universal story that speaks of deep human emotions. The protagonists—Aida, Radamès, and Amneris—are young people overwhelmed by passions and ambitions greater than themselves, victims of an inexorable fate and a cruel and useless war. The opera thus becomes a reflection on love as the only way to give meaning to life.

Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.

This is an event for school groups. In case seats are available to the general audience, they will be on sale on the same day of performance at the box-office.
