Metropolitan Opera: “Aida” (rebroadcast)

This is an unhosted event.

From the Met:

“In this powerful 2025 Met performance, soprano Angel Blue sings the title role of Verdi’s Egyptian drama, going head-to-head with mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi as her royal rival, Amneris. Tenor Piotr Beczała is the warrior Radamès, opposite baritone Quinn Kelsey as the Ethiopian king Amonasro.

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts a grand new production by Tony Award–winner Michael Mayer, which 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.”
