Royal Ballet & Opera Stream: AIDA (2022)
Advertisement
Love and duty collide and nations clash in Verdi's monumental political drama.
Princess Aida has been kidnapped: a valuable prize in a war between Egypt and Ethiopia. Meanwhile, the ambitious soldier Radames wrestles with his feelings for her. As they draw closer together, each must make an agonising choice between their loyalty to home, and their love for each other.
In this new production, director Robert Carsen situates Verdi’s large-scale political drama within a contemporary world, framing its power struggles and toxic jealousies in the apparatus of a modern, totalitarian state.
Starring Francesco Meli, Elena Stikhina, Agnieszka Rehlis and Ludovic Tézier, conducted by Antonio Pappano.
Recorded October 2022.
Tickets £15 (£8 under 18s)
Doors open 4.30 pm. Bar available.
