In Aida, written for the inauguration of the Suez Canal and first performed in Cairo in 1871, Verdi confronts us with the political mood of the time. From the outset - the prelude to the opera - Verdi juxtaposes two musical worlds: the tender lyrical arches in the upper strings that are associated with Aida and the dark, sombre, march-like music of the priests.
