Verdi: Aida

  • Royal Ballet and Opera Bow Street London, England, WC2E 9DD United Kingdom (map)

Verdi’s sharply relevant opera of love and war returns to the Royal Opera House.

As Egypt prepares to launch an attack on Ethiopia, the ambitious soldier Radames readies to serve his country. But his secret love for Aida, an Ethiopian prisoner concealing her true identity, has grave consequences. As the conflict deepens, the lovers’ truths threaten to emerge, forcing a terrible choice between loyalty to home – and to each other.
