AIDA

The Metropolitan Opera, New York 26 September 2018 – 7 March 2019

One of Giuseppe Verdi’s many masterpieces, Aida tells the story of an Ethiopian princess of the Old Kingdom, captured and enslaved by the Egyptians. The conflicting demands of loyalty, duty and the heart are encountered as she and an Egyptian military commander fall hopelessly in love, telling its intimate tale in a grand setting of elaborate choreography and complex ensembles. Expected to be a highlight of the new season, soprano Anna Netrebko will make her debut appearance as a Met Aida alongside mezzo-soprano, Anita Rachvelishvili, as Amneris. metopera.org
