Love and duty collide and nations clash in Verdi's political drama, starring Elena Stikhina. In this new production, director Robert Carsen situates Verdi's large-scale drama within a contemporary world, framing its power struggles and toxic jealousies in the apparatus of a modern, totalitarian state. Antonio Pappano conducts Verdi's glorious, monumental score.
"Elena Stikhina's Aida packs considerable power behind her sweet-sounding soprano … it's rock solid in the pit, Pappano and his players filling in all the colour that's lacking on stage in this dour but truthful Aida." The Guardian
"This production is at best an intriguing modern interpretation ... A five-star performance of a five-star opera ..." (The Daily Express ★★★★)
"On all levels a stimulating, outstandingly professional and well-realised evening." (The Daily Telegraph ★★★★)
