AIDA - Live from met

Aida premiered in 1871 in Cairo and quickly became one of the opera repertoire's most beloved works. Now you can see Verdi's grand opera from the Metropolitan in New York in cinemas in Sweden. Live at the cinema and Studio Acusticum on January 25.
 

Set in ancient Egypt and a performance filled with magnificent choruses, this opera is based on an intimate love story. Few operas have matched Aida in its exploration of the conflict between private feelings and public duty, and perhaps none has been so unanimously acclaimed by both audiences and critics to this day. Aida premiered at the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo in 1871. American soprano Angel Blue stars as the Ethiopian princess torn between love and motherland in a new production of Verdi's Aida by Michael Mayer. It transports audiences into the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations. The Romanian-Hungarian mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi plays Aida's rival, Amneris, together with the Polish tenor Piotr Beczała as the soldier Radamès – thus completing the opera's greatest love triangle. Met Principal Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin will take the baton for the Jan. 25 performance, which will be broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera's stage to movie theaters worldwide.
