About This Show

Verdi’s “Egyptian” epic tale epitomizes grand opera — complete with parades of horses, soldiers, a ballet, an exotic locale, and a love triangle (in this case, between the Pharaoh’s daughter and her Ethiopian slave, Aida, who compete for the love of a heroic soldier). In one of The Met’s most spectacular productions, a cast of hundreds fills the stage in the magnificent Triumphal Scene.

Let the soaring melodies and dazzling sets take you to another world. Experience the magic of Aida!
