The nation, paternal authority, betrayal, loyalty, love and death sit alongside outstanding vocal prowess supported by a sumptuous choir and orchestra whose symphonic style is an illustration of the performance’s splendour… including the use of the famous Theban Trumpets in the style of the Antiquity that continue to ensure the fame of Aida. In the immense score, Verdi’s themes converge to create exceptional theatrics. The very demanding role of Aida was written for the great Teresa Stolz who starred in the work’s Italian première. For technical reasons, the first performance of Aida was postponed, waiting until 1871 to enjoy a triumphant debut in Cairo, which was soon followed by its initial performance at the La Scala opera house in Milan. It was the famous Egyptologist Mariette who dreamed up the plot and ensured the performance was true to the knowledge he possessed of the Antiquity. On inauguration of the Suez Canal, the Khedive of Egypt wished to mark the celebrations by means of a major operatic performance and asked Verdi to compose the work that was to open the Cairo Opera, built for the occasion. Aida chooses to share the fate of Radames and dies with him. Radames, after obtaining glory through victory, endures dishonour by betraying his people through his love for Aida.

It features monumental performances by Luciano Pavarotti as Radames and Margaret Price in the title role.

Headlines in yesterday’s press proclaimed it one of the best-received productions at the Milan opera house in recent years. Zeffirelli’s glittering production of Verdi’s Aïda was clapped and cheered for 13 minutes after the curtain came down. The Lithuanian mezzo-soprano Violeta Urmana in the title role and the tenor Roberto Alagna as Radames headed a cast that mustered 310 people for the Triumphal March. La Repubblica declared Riccardo Chailly’s conducting of Verdi’s great Egyptian opera “a colossal triumph” and dubbed the 83-year-old director “King Zeffirelli”. The Lithuanian opera singer who has sung leading mezzo-soprano and soprano roles, Violeta Urmana sang the title role. The main male dancer is the noted Roberto Bolle. The amazing version of the Triumphal March below is a 2006 La Scala production by Franco Zeffirelli. The Triumfmarch is in the second act, where Radamès, Captain of the Guard leads the Egyptian army on its return following their victory over the Ethiopians. This great opera was commissioned by and first performed at Cairo’s Khedivial Opera House (which was built on the orders of the Khedive Ismail to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal) on 24 December 1871 Giovanni Bottesini conducted after Verdi himself withdrew. Perhaps the best-known triumphal march: from the second act of Giuseppe Verdi’s 1871 grand opera, Aïda (sometimes spelled Aïda).
