Considered one of the greatest operatic creations of all time, the grand opera “Aida”, in four acts and eight scenes, explores the drama of war in life and love, in ancient Egypt, in the time of the pharaohs, when the Egyptians invaded Ethiopia. A love drama between an Ethiopian slave named Aida, but of noble origin (and enslaved in the pharaonic kingdom), and an Egyptian general named Radamés, commander of the occupation forces of the slave’s country (Ethiopia).

Upon learning that his daughter, the beautiful Ethiopian princess Aida, was captured by the Egyptians and became a prisoner and slave of the Egyptian princess Amneris, both in love with Ramades, Amonasro, the king of Ethiopia (Aida’s father) organized the troops in a final attempt to release. But, although the young warrior of the Egyptian army corresponds to Aida’s passion, he dreams of returning to this secret love of his crowned with laurels of the fight against the Ethiopians. In the midst of this passion, his condemnation by Aida’s father also appears, who also demands revenge for his daughter’s imprisonment and slavery.

This is an opera of an epic nature, with a great scenic apparatus, choirs, ballets, large sets, and very long acts. It has an exotic character, scenically grandiose, with great effects, full of drama and narrative intensity, and great modernity in terms of message.

Sung in Italian, with a surprising ending, this is a show that deserves to be enjoyed life, on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of May, at Coliseu Porto Ageas, Coliseu dos Recreios, Casino Estoril, and Centro de Artes de Águeda, respectively.
