About 27 – 30 January 2026 | Main Stage Aida anime di sabbia with Giuseppe Verdi‘s music from 8 to 14 years old | School Group Bookings from November 11 2025 Director Manu Lalli Original music and arrangements Simone Piraino Conductor Daniele Malinverno / Michele De Luca Assistant Director Chiara Casalbuoni Scene Designs Daniele Leone Teatro Massimo Orchestra and Chorus Chorus Master Salvatore Punturo A Teatro Massimo New Production Tickets Full price: 12 € Students: 5 € Free entrance for 1 teacher every 10 students, students with disabilities and their support teachers 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.
