A magnificent historical picture scroll by the master Zeffirelli.
A tragedy of love in ancient Egypt
Aida", Zeffirelli's festive masterpiece, will be performed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the New National Theatre, Tokyo, with dynamic stage transitions unique to the New National Theatre. The "Triumphal Scene," featuring singers, chorus, ballet, and supporting actors, is a grand spectacle of sound and sight. It is a must-see for all opera fans.
Aida" is one of Verdi's late great works, first performed at the Cairo Opera House, which was built to commemorate the opening of the Suez Canal, and a month later at La Scala, where it was a success with 40 encores.
The story depicts the single-minded love between Radames, an ancient Egyptian warrior, and Aida, a princess of Ethiopia, his enemy. Radames' aria "Aida the Pure", Aida's "Return Home Victorious", "Triumphal March" and other brilliant masterpieces follow, and in the second half, the lovers' love, father-daughter feelings, pride, jealousy and other psychological conflicts are depicted. In the final scene, Aida and Radames' duet "The Rock of Fate is Closed" echoes the plaintive music of their sublimated love.
The title role is played by the famous soprano Serena Farnocchia, and Radames by Roberto Aronica, one of the world's finest tenors. Amneris will be played by Irene Roberts, who is making great strides in opera houses in Europe and the United States, especially with the Deutsche Oper Berlin, and the cast is the best one could hope for. The long-awaited return of master conductor Carlo Rizzi, who specializes in Verdi.
