Aida, September 1994

In this tragic love story set amongst Egypt’s pyramids, Amneris (daughter of Egypt’s ruler) and Aida (her slave and daughter of the vanquished Ethiopian King) vie for the love of Radames (General of the Egyptian army). Besotted with Aida , Radames betrays a vital secret. Death by entombment awaits him as does Aida ready to die by his side… A totally gripping production sung in English in a fine translation by Arthur Jacobs, with the Opera East orchestra lending a chilling accompaniment.
