Verdi was commissioned to write Aida to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the construction of the Cairo Opera House where it premiered in 1871.  This will be an unmissable event at The Landmark Arts Centre inaugurating Instant Opera’s first full performance there – a suitably grand venue for this epic masterpiece.

Last year’s production of Puccini’s Turandot earned Instant Opera two five star reviews so the bar is high for a truly memorable evening!  AIDA has something for everyone – from the famous aria ‘Celeste Aida’a soaring declaration of forbidden love. Other highlights include Aida’s prayer, ‘O patria mia’, with her fears for her country in a time of war. The Triumphal March is a moment of huge ceremony, accompanied by trumpets and rousing percussion. There are emotionally charged ensembles and, as is often the case in Verdi’s operas, a duet between a father and his daughter, in the powerful scene between Amonasro and Aida.
