Opera: Verdi’s Aida
Music
Description
Description
A poignant story of a love triangle during a time of war between Egypt and Ethiopia, Aïda features the most intricate and memorable music that Verdi ever wrote. Here, Verdi placed the drama above all else: every element becomes a means of dramatic expression, whether the exoticism of the ritual scenes, the breathtaking Triumphal March or the soaring arias, duets and choruses. In Verdi’s own words, Aïda is ‘more intense, more theatrical’ than any of his other operas. Opera Hong Kong brings all the drama and pageantry of this grand opera to the majestic stage of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Grand Theatre with a star-studded international cast which includes two of the opera world’s reigning Aïdas. Princess Aïda became a slave due to war and bad fortune. She shares a secret love with Radamès, Egypt’s leading warrior and hero. But Ramadès has been betrothed to the powerful and extremely jealous Princess Amneris. A timeless story of the conflicting duties of love and patriotism, Aïda with its spectacle and soaring music, continues to thrill audiences worldwide.
