CloseWarwick Arts Centre’s screenings of the best opera, live from the Metropolitan Opera House, New York
The Met Opera bring a selection from their award-winning series of live, high-definition performance transmissions to Warwick Arts Centre.
Set in ancient Egypt, Aida is both a heartbreaking love story and an epic drama full of spectacular crowd scenes. A cast of powerful voices and a grand production bring the story to life on the Met stage (and on the HD screen).
Violeta Urmna stars in the title role of the enslaved Ethiopian princess, with Dolora Zajick as her rival. Johan Botha plays Radamès, commander of the Egyptian army, and Daniele Gatti conducts. Among the score’s highlights is the celebrated Triumphal March.
Running Time: 4hrs approximately (including 2 intervals)
