Elton John and Tim Rice’s musical love story, Aida, is based on the legendary tragedy of Aida, a Nubian Princess who is taken as a slave by Radames, a conquering Egyptian soldier, and given as a handmaiden to the Pharaoh?s daughter. Aida soon finds herself in love with Radames and is torn between love and duty when the Nubian slaves look to her to lead them to freedom.
