As one of the most popular masterpieces created by opera master Verdi, Aida is always favored by worldwide opera lovers - the vivid three-dimensional characterization and passionate melodies. This production will mark the first-ever opera cooperation between maestro Zubin Mehta and NCPA. The creative team is joined by Italian set designer Ezio Frigerio and costume designer Franca Squarciapino, who were creative members of NCPA's production of Nabucco. The cast is also star-studded. International megastars, designated by maestro Mehta, include world-renowned soprano He Hui (the world's No.1 'Aida') and tenor Jorge de Leon. The lineup will also be presented by Dai Yuqiang (one of China's three tenors), internationally-renowned soprano Susanna Branchini, Yang Guang, Yuan Chenye, and Tian Haojiang.
Aida was premiered in 1871. The plot focuses on the love story between Ethiopian princess Aida and Egyptian hero Radames. At the choice between love and loyalty for defending the country, the couple is indecisive in a dilemma. The opera is full of strong contrast for emotions: Aida loves with infatuation for motherland and Radames, Radames celebrates victory and decides on 'unjust act', and Egyptian princess Amneris has overbearing desire for Radames. The story features plump texture so that people lament for this beautiful love. 
In order to achieve accurate representation of regional features and cultural characteristics of the whole storyline, Verdi repeatedly went to museums to watch Egyptian antiquities and asked Egyptian experts for advice. He blends the ancient musical materials into the opera presentation with lively and profound understanding. The grand stage set makes it suitable for open-air venues.

作为歌剧大师威尔第最为脍炙人口的代表作之一，《阿依达》一直以跌宕起伏的动人情节、鲜明立体的人物塑造、充满激情的音乐旋律，受到世界各地歌剧爱好者的欢迎。本剧将是世界级指挥大师祖宾·梅塔第一次与国家大剧院在歌剧方面的合作。著名舞美设计埃兹欧·弗里杰利奥及服装设计弗兰卡·斯夸尔恰皮诺在与大剧院合作《纳布科》之后再次加盟，为大剧院制作一部威尔第大作。本次演员阵容也是星光熠熠，祖宾·梅塔钦点的国际组阵容由世界著名女高音、世界第一“阿依达”和慧以及男高音豪尔格·德·莱昂领衔。同时，中国三高之一戴玉强携手国际知名女高音苏珊娜·布朗齐尼以及杨光、袁晨野、田浩江等艺术家将鼎力加盟。



　　歌剧《阿依达》首演于1871年。剧情围绕着埃塞尔比亚公主阿依达和埃及英雄拉达梅斯的爱情展开。在爱情与卫国忠诚的抉择之时，剧中各个角色都处于左右为难、进退两难的境地。整部作品充满着对比强烈的感情：阿依达对祖国的眷恋与对爱人的痴心，拉达梅斯对胜利的庆祝与“不义之举”的决定，还有埃及公主安奈瑞斯对拉达梅斯霸道的占有欲。整部剧血肉丰满，让人们为这段凄美的爱情黯然神伤。
　　威尔第为准确地表现整个故事的地域风貌与文化特色，曾多次去博物馆参观埃及文物并向埃及专家请教，将古代音乐素材融入在对歌剧表现生动又深刻的理解中。《阿依达》宏大的舞台布景使这部歌剧很适合在露天场地演出，第二幕的“凯旋进行曲”（点击试听）也因其震撼的场面和宏大的音乐成为了该剧的代表段落。另外拉达梅斯的咏叹调“圣洁的阿依达”（点击试听）和阿依达的咏叹调“胜利归来”（点击试听）都是令人难忘的细腻之作。

作曲：朱塞佩·威尔第
脚本：安东尼奥·吉斯兰佐尼
首演：1871年12月24日在埃及开罗歌剧院首演
