Aida - Preview clip

This magnificent production of Verdi's much-loved masterpiece was a triumphant
Success when it opened at La Scala in December 1985 and Luciano Pavarotti's Iong-
awaited performance as Radames his first in Italy - was greeted with rapturous
applause. In this live recording of that production, Pavarotti heads an exceptional
cast with Ghena Dimitrova, Maria Chiara, Nicolai Ghiaurov and Juan Pons all in peak
form. Lorin Maazel's reading of the SCore showS a rare understanding of Verdi's
music.
Verdi wrote Aida in response to a request by the Khedive of Egypt, for an opera
with authentic Egyptian flavour, to open the Cairo Opera House in 1871. The
opera's appeal was immediate and lasting and this production captures perfectly
the imposing grandeur of the land of the Pharoahs and the ochre hues of the
desert. It is an ideal setting for the magnificent spectacle of the opera, which
combines so consummately with the drama of human emotion, played out in
Radames's love for the slave girl Aida and the jealousy of Amneris, daughter of the
Egyptian King.
