At the royal palace in Memphis, the high priest Ramfis tells Captain Radames that the goddess Isis knows the name of the man who will lead Egyptian troops in the war against Ethiopia. Radames hopes that - if he is chosen and if he wins - he will be given the hand of Aida, the Ethiopian slave of Amneris, the Pharaoh's daughter. But Amneris is also in love with him - A critical look First performed at the Cairo Opera House in December 1871 to celebrate the inauguration of the Suez Canal, Aida is one of the most monumental operas in the Verdian repertoire. In this new production Dutch director Lotte de Beer intends "to take a critical look at European representations of subjugated peoples". Performing alongside Canadian soprano Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role, the outstanding cast includes Uzbekistan-born mezzo-soprano Ksenia Dudnikova, German tenor Jonas Kaufmann and French baritone Ludovic Tézier.
