Aida
If you have never been to an opera and want to give it a try, Aida is perfect for you. With its famous arias and ensembles: Radamès’s Se quel guerrier io fossi!... Celeste Aida and Aida’s Ritorna vincitor (Return victorious), Aida has become one of the most popular operas ever written. And it’s easy to understand. The Ethiopian King’s daughter, Aida, has been captured and becomes a slave in the service of the Egyptian Pharoah’s daughter, Amneris. General Radames loves Aida but is loved by Amneris. When he returns victorious from war he is rewarded by the unwelcome hand of Amneris in marriage. Aida’s father, Amonasro, has been taken prisoner, his life spared at the intercession of Radames. Amonasro induces his daughter to help him discover the plans of the Egyptian army through Radames. Aida takes flight but the apparent treachery of Radames is revealed and he is condemned to death. In the final scene he is immured in a stone tomb, where he is joined by Aida. As they die, Amneris, above the tomb, prays for peace for her beloved Radames.
All films are in Italian with English and Chinese subtitles.
