"GRAND OPÉRA" AT ITS BEST! OPERA LOVERS KNOW THEIR AIDA, THE STORY OF THE ETHIOPIAN PRINCESS WHO MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN HER LOVE FOR HER FATHER WHO IS HELD CAPTIVE IN EGYPT, AND HER LOVER, THE EGYPTIAN CAPTAIN WHO HOLDS HER FATHER CAPTIVE.

Aida is more than just an oriental fairy tale. The opera confronts us with themes that have by no means lost their relevance. Already in the opening of the opera, Verdi juxtaposes two musical worlds: the tender, lyrical melody lines in the strings associated with Aida, and the dark, march-like music of the clergy. It is this struggle between love and duty that is at the heart of this powerful opera.

Grand opéra With a choir of nearly 200 singers, a large orchestra and fantastic soloists, this guarantees "Grand opéra" at its best. Latonia Moore, one of the most renowned Verdi interpreters of our time, sings the title role, while the tenor Massimiliano Pisapia performs as Radamés. Andrew Litton leads soloists, choir and orchestra through Verdi's sumptuous score.

Aida was first performed on 24 December 1871 at the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo.

"GRAND OPÉRA" PÅ SITT YPPERSTE! OPERAELSKERE KJENNER SIN AIDA, HISTORIEN OM DEN ETIOPISKE PRINSESSEN SOM MÅ VELGE MELLOM KJÆRLIGHETEN TIL SIN FAR SOM HOLDES FANGET I EGYPT, OG SIN ELSKER, DEN EGYPTISKE KAPTEINEN SOM HOLDER FAREN FANGET.

Aida er mer enn bare et orientalsk eventyr. Operaen konfronterer oss med temaer som på ingen måte har mistet sin relevans. Allerede i åpningen av operaen sammenstiller Verdi to musikalske verdener: de ømme, lyriske melodilinjene i strykerne knyttet til Aida, og presteskapets mørke, marsjaktige musikk. Det er denne kampen mellom kjærlighet og plikt som er kjernen i denne mektige operaen.

Grand opéra Med et kor på nærmere 200 sangere, stort orkester og fantastiske solister borger dette for «Grand opéra» på sitt ypperste. Latonia Moore, en av vår tids mest anerkjente Verdi-fortolkere, synger tittelrollen, mens tenoren Massimiliano Pisapia opptrer som Radamés. Andrew Litton leder solister, kor og orkester gjennom Verdis overdådige partitur.

Aida ble uroppført 24. desember 1871 i Khedivial Opera House i Kairo.
