Ägypten befindet sich im Krieg mit Äthiopien. Es herrschen theokratische Staatsstrukturen, der König steht unter der Fuchtel des Hohepriesters Ramfis. Die äthiopische Prinzessin Aida ist Sklavin der ägyptischen Königstochter Amneris. Beide sind in den jungen Ägypter Radamès verliebt, der Aidas Gefühle erwidert. Nun soll er als Feldherr gegen das Volk seiner Geliebten in den Krieg ziehen. – Verdis Aida erzählt davon, wie Menschen angesichts unmenschlicher Verhältnisse versuchen, ihrem inneren Kompass zu folgen, aber auch, wie sie instrumentalisiert werden und schließlich an erbarmungslosen Machtstrukturen zerbrechen.

Die zeitlosen Kernfragen der Oper spitzt Lydia Steier in ihrer Lesart der individuellen Konflikte wie auch der großen Chorszenen weiter zu. Umso eindrücklicher erscheint Amneris’ finales Flehen um Frieden, das Verdi dem unerbittlichen Priesterchor entgegensetzt, während Aida und Radamès mit ihrem Duett »O terra, addio« für einen letzten Moment gemeinsamen Glücks zusammenfinden, um von der Welt Abschied zu nehmen.

Deutsch

Egypt’s at war with Ethiopia. Theocratic structures rule, the King’s under High Priest Ramfis’ thumb. The Ethiopian Princess Aida's enslaved to the King’s daughter Amneris. Both are in love with a young Egyptian, Radamès, who returns Aida’s feelings. Now he’s been chosen to lead the army against his beloved’s people … Verdi's Aida depicts people, faced with conflict-laden relationships, trying to achieve their own ends but being manipulated before falling foul of pitiless structures of dominion.

The timeless central questions in the opera come to a head in Lydia Steier’s reading of the work in one to one conflicts and imposing chorus scenes. Unbelievably moving and intense is Amneris’ final prayer for peace, set alongside the unforgiving Priest’s chorus, while Aida and Radamès share one last moment of happiness before taking their leave from the world in »O terra, addio«.
