Aida
Event location: Royal Opera House. Ongoing event.
 Verdi's Aida returns to the Royal Opera stage in a new production with a world-class cast headed by Marcelo Alvarez as the warrior Radames and Micaela Carosi as the captured princess of the title. This is a society from long ago, ordered by ritual, obesessed with death, driven by war and power. How can the future love of prisoner and captor survive against such forces? The intensity and tragedy of the story inspired Verdi to some of his most haunting, powerful and famous music. From the seductive slave dances to the triumphal march, from the passion of 'Celeste Aida' to the hauntingly heart-rending finale, this is some of the most memorable music that often seems to suspend time itself make Aida one of the unique experiences of opera.
The new production is by internationally acclaimed director David McVicar, who has several of The Royal Opera's most popular productions to his name. There are striking designs to evoke a strange and distant culture, there is the characteristically intense focus of McVicar's production. And of course there is glorious music given full reign by the forces of the Royal Opera's new Aida a star event of the whole Season.
