Aida

Synopsis

MEMBER: THE BROADWAY COLLECTION

The mighty walls and towering monuments of ancient Egypt once again fill the Met stage, as Verdi’s great spectacle, Aida, returns. Soprano Latonia Moore—hailed for her performances in Porgy and Bess and Fire Shut Up in My Bones—stars as the Ethiopian princess torn between love and country, sharing the role with rising soprano Michelle Bradley. Mezzo-sopranos Anita Rachvelishvili and Olesya Petrova alternate as Aida’s implacable Egyptian counterpart Amneris, with tenors Brian Jagde and Marcelo A´lvarez as the warrior Radame`s, the object of both of their affections. Baritones George Gagnidze, Quinn Kelsey, and Luca Salsi portray Aida’s father, Amonasro, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn is the iron-fisted priest Ramfis. Maestro Paolo Carignani conducts.

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