Radamès in Verdi’s Aïda with Opera Carolina

Radamès and Amneris backstage

Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece Aida is one of the iconic operas in the history of classical music.  Throughout its history of performance, it has been known for its grand spectacle, embodying the grandeur of ancient Egypt, which is the setting for this story of jealousy and love of country set against the love between Aida and Radames.

When an opera company schedules Aida, it is with the intention of presenting all this grandeur – Excellent principal artists, a large chorus of at least 60 singers, ‘spear-carrying’ extras to bring the spoils of war before Pharoah, dancers and live animals particularly the iconic elephant.  Over the last two decades, regulations for the care and protection of exotic animals, as well as the increased availability and cost of liability insurance, has precluded companies like Opera Carolina from presenting live animals in the Triumphal Scene.  Even in the Arena di Verona, live animals are not present in this scene.

It falls then to the artistic team to create a spectacle that is engaging and does justice to Verdi’s vision.  As always, let us know how we did.
