- 05/25/2018
110 years after the inauguration of the current building of the Teatro Colon, the opera with which its curtain ran for the first time was re-released: Aida. The emblematic title of the great Giuseppe Verdi, in which he opts for all his experience in operatic matters, tells the story of the Ethiopian slave that Radames, the captain of Pharaoh's guard, falls in love with. Torn between his loyalty to the country and the dictates of his heart, he must also deal with the desire of Amneris, the daughter of Pharaoh, who professes an unrequited love. The setting of the remembered Roberto Oswald will be the setting of this great show that will dazzle for its visual display and the power of music.
