Aida Verdi

One of the most exciting moments in the making of any opera is the sitzprobe (a German word for "seated rehearsal"). This rehearsal sees the orchestra and singers come together for the first time and play through the score.

Here's a short glimpse of the Aida sitzprobe, led by conductor Lorenzo Passerini. Aida is at the Sydney Opera House from 22 June to 13 August 2021.

Working with phenomenal new digital staging technology, director-choreographer Davide Livermore creates an extravagant theatrical experience of Verdi’s monumental opera Aida.

Opulent costumes and sensational visual effects reveal the glorious splendour of Egypt as it’s never been seen before.

Can love conquer all? A country ravaged by armed conflict is on the verge of collapse. Aida, a young prisoner of war in love with Radames, the General of the opposing army, finds herself torn between warring parties. We watch as they attempt to fulfil their desire in a world that refuses to allow it.

This Opera Queensland and Opera Australia co-production comprises a stellar cast, including acclaimed soprano Natalie Aroyan in the title role, powerful tenor Diego Torre as Radames and internationally renowned mezzo Elena Gabouri as Amneris. Adding vocal power and lustre to the mighty score are the Opera Australia and Opera Queensland Choruses.

“As magnificent, jaw-dropping, gasp-inducing and lavish a staging as you can imagine” Subscribe here for updates on Season 2022 and new dates for Aida.
