In the 102nd edition of the Verona Arena Opera Festival, Aida returns to the stage, in the "crystal" production of 2023 created and curated for direction, sets, and costumes by the multifaceted artist Stefano Poda.
Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece about the Ethiopian princess enslaved in Egypt, with transparencies, unprecedented light plays, and rich symbolism suspended between Ancient Egypt and contemporary art, will be staged for 13 performances, from June 20 to September 4, 2025. A multifaceted and modern production, able to speak to everyone, balancing between classical Egyptian iconography and the stylistic innovations of Paco Rabanne, Roberto Capucci, and Damien Hirst.
Composed in 1869 on the occasion of the inauguration of the Suez Canal, Aida by Giuseppe Verdi tells the love story of young Aida, daughter of the King of Ethiopia but made a slave following Amneris, daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt. In love (and loved in return) with the valiant Radamès, betrothed to Amneris, Aida will follow him to his tragic death, demonstrating her love and loyalty.
