The Metropolitan Opera: Aida

About the Event

The Metropolitan Opera brings 'Aida', one of the best‐known works in the opera repertoire, to the stage this season.

Verdi’s Aida is a magnificent and spectacular grand opera but also a sensitive and intimate tale of the forbidden love of an Egyptian military commander and an Ethiopian slave. Director GStephen Pickover and his team have retained the original story, but they also highlight the universal nature of the narrative.

Practical Information

Sung in Italian with Met Titles in English, German, Italian and Spanish.
