Aida is an epic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations. With a Tony Award-winning pop/rock score, Elton John and Time Rices contemporary musical theatre masterpiece is a must-see drama, stunning, powerful and beautifully unexpected. Directed by Matthew Herrick. Music by Elton John. Lyrics by Tim Rice.
