American soprano Angel Blue headlines as the Ethiopian princess torn between love and country in a new production of Verdi’s
Aida
by Michael Mayer that brings audiences inside the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations.
This grandest of grand operas features an epic backdrop for what is in essence an intimate love story. Set in ancient Egypt and packed with magnificent choruses, complex ensembles, and elaborate ballets, Aida never loses sight of its three protagonists. Few operas have matched Aida in its exploration of the conflict of private emotion and public duty, and perhaps no other has remained to the present day so unanimously appreciated by audiences and critics alike.
Romanian-Hungarian mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi also stars as Aida’s rival, Amneris, alongside Polish tenor Piotr Beczała as the soldier Radamès—completing opera’s greatest love triangle. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium to conduct the January 25 performance, which will be transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas worldwide.
This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theatres across the globe.

Adults - $18 plus taxes & fees = $23
Youth (under 20) - $9 plus taxes & fees = $12.65
Sung in Italian with English Subtitles
Run Time 3hrs 15min (one intermission)
