Aïda
Giuseppe Verdi|October 26, 28, 31, November 3, 9, 11
The pursuit of passion leads to divided loyalties in the ancient capital of Memphis, where Aïda, an Ethiopian princess enslaved by conquering Egyptians, struggles to reconcile her love of country with her searing desire for the heroic captain, Radames. Complicating matters, the Egyptian princess Amneris carries a fiery torch for the same military commander, whose love for the alluring “slave girl” (sung by the acclaimed Latonia Moore) could cost him his honor — or his life! An international ensemble cast will breathe new life into Verdi’s enormously popular drama.
Starring Latonia Moore, Nadia Krasteva, Antonello Palombi, Lester Lynch
Conductor Graeme Jenkins|Stage director John Copley
