About the eventThis is a story of love so strong it defies enemy
lines. This is a story of a kingdom in triumph and a nation in chains.
This is a story of betrayal. Verdi’s monumental music makes this
historic epic an enduring favourite. Davide Livermore’s radiant
production is a thrilling theatrical experience. Ten towering digital
screens create ever-changing floor-to-ceiling set pieces. Immersive
digital video design ranges from rich symbolism to vivid landscapes.
Opulent costumes and props reflect the splendour of Egypt at the
height of its power. Together with dramatic video, the massed grandeur
of the famous Triumphal March is a visual and musical feast. Giampaolo
Bisanti and Tahu Matheson conduct two magnificent casts. Sensational
sopranos Leah Crocetto and Elena Guseva perform as the enslaved
princess, Aida. Elena Gabouri reprises her critically acclaimed turn
as Aida’s rival, Amneris, before Agnieszka Rehlis joins the cast.
Yonghoon Lee is a powerful Radamès, the man they both love, before
Andeka Gorrotxategi joins the cast, following his stunning Calàf in
Turandot.
