Synopsis

Aida (NTSC)

---

Commissioned by the Viceroy of Egypt, Aida is Verdi's only opera to be written for a non-European house. Although set in Egypt in the 19th century BC, it borrows only superficially from the current fashion for exotic subjects but on closer examination emerges as an implacable indictment of nationalism and imperialism.
