Aida is one of Giuseppe Verdi’s most famous operas, known for its scale, spectacle, and emotional intensity. This is a traditional grand opera staging which unites intimate human drama with sweeping theatrical spectacle. With expansive sets, richly detailed design, and a powerful musical interpretation, Verdi’s score unfolds in all its lyrical and dramatic breadth. The production evokes the full emotional range of the work with Leontyne Price, the greatest Verdi soprano of her time.
