SUMMARY:Aida
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Aida is a slave at the Egyptian court. She is the king’s daug
 hter from the enemy country of Ethiopia but has fallen in love with the Eg
 yptian military leader Radamès. Her father Amonasro uses her to learn abo
 ut the military strategy of his adversaries. Meanwhile\, Amneris\, the Egy
 ptian king’s daughter\, uses everything in her power to fight for her lo
 ve for Radamès and tries to kill her rival. Everyone is at the mercy of a
  ruthless cartel of priests and warriors.\n\nAt the height of European imp
 erialism and the beginning of African colonisation\, Aida premiered in Ca
 iro in December 1871. Noticeably\, Verdi’s score reveals that his aim wa
 s not to set history to music. Rather\, he criticizes an inhuman society. 
 In his production of Aida director Calixto Bieito focuses on the Kammersp
 iel-like passages of the opera as well as the conflict between the politic
 al events surrounding the piece at the time it was produced and the presen
 t day.
