Description: Set in ancient Egypt during the reign of the Pharaohs, "Aida" conforms to the notion that in the game of love and war, all is fair. Perhaps. Political intrigue, love, betrayal, passion, and vengeance conspire in a tragic love triangle that pits three people conflicted by their love for country, family, and each other. One of opera's most revered classics, AIDA delivers an intense, compelling drama highlighted by spectacular theatrical pageantry.
