ABOUT THE EVENT

Giuseppe Verdi's famous opera, Aida, will be performed at the Latvian National Opera this season.

In 1868, Giuseppe Verdi was commissioned to write a new opera with an Egyptian setting. At first reticent, Verdi finally accepted the offer after becoming better acquainted with the story of the enslaved Ethiopian princess Aida. The story is based on the lengthly struggle between Egypt and Ethiopia (Nubia). The Cairo premiere was held on December 24, 1871, but its first Italian performance took place the following year, February 8, in Milan, with Verdi himself conducting. Both premieres were triumphant successes.
