Overview
Aida
January 30–March 19, 2016
Radamés is an ambitious Egyptian warrior who thinks only of two things—leading his country’s legions against the Ethiopians, and his undying love for the slave Aida. But his feelings for Aida crush the hopes of the King’s daughter Amneris, leading him and his beloved onto a path of betrayal, revenge, and tragedy. In a grand spectacle of vocal prowess, awe-inspiring ballet and choruses, sumptuous scenery and luxurious costumes, experience Verdi’s beloved tale of a heartbreaking love triangle, presented by Sarasota Opera for the first time.
