The splendor of Egypt comes to life through this visually arresting, projection-based concert production of Verdi’s Aida in its first Arizona Opera performances in over a decade, with a stellar cast featuring Leah Hawkins, Aida; Jennifer Johnson Cano, Amneris; Limmie Pulliam, Radamès; Kidon Choi, Amonasro; Scott Conner, Ramfis; Emma Marhefka, Priestess; and Peter Barber, King of Egypt. Aida tells the story of forbidden love amidst political intrigue, as the looming shadow of war envelops the sands of Egypt, and princess Aida confronts the challenges posed by a web of love, loyalty, and betrayal.
