Verdi represents the epitome of Italian opera, and Aida features some of its most beloved music. The opera with the famous Triumphal March is a magnificent yet intimate piece about love in the shadow of war.
Performances run 20 August - 15 September.
The Royal Danish Opera has in recent seasons introduced audiences to a number of new stagings of Verdi’s operas. Now his iconic Aida, which premiered during the 2022/2023 season, returns to the Opera House.
A once opulent and decadent palace now houses the headquarters of a belligerent and oppressive regime. Here, Aida suffers in foreign captivity as one of the many unintended victims of the war. In Verdi’s fateful tale of conflict, oppression and love, she brings out the light with her magnificent voice.
In his operas, Verdi often depicts a political as well as a personal narrative. In her staging, British opera director Annabel Arden shines the limelight on the personal story of the captive Aida, who falls in love with her foe. Verdi describes the inner struggles of the main characters, dealing with love, faith, power and envy, executed with great dramatic clarity.
Paolo Carignani, the Royal Danish Opera’s Chief Guest Conductor, is an expert in the Italian opera tradition. In 2022, he conducted Aida at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The many musical highlights of Verdi’s opera, such as the Triumphal March and the arias O patria mia and Celeste Aida, are thus in the best of hands.
Aida is performed in Italian with Danish supertitles.
