This grandest of grand operas features an epic backdrop for what is in essence an intimate love story. Set in Ancient Egypt and packed with magnificent choruses, complex ensembles, and elaborate ballets, Aida never loses sight of its three protagonists: Aida (Angel Blue), Amneris (Judit Kutasi), and Radamès (Piotr Beczała).
