Summary

Dive into the grandeur of Giuseppe Verdi's timeless masterpiece, "Aida," with the spellbinding DVD presentation by Opus Arte. This cinematic spectacle takes you on a visual and auditory journey through the captivating tale of love, loyalty, and betrayal set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt.

In an astonishing act of theatrical archaeology, Josep Mestres Cabanes's legendary 1945 production of Aida at the Gran Teatre del Liceu has been lovingly restored and once more presented to the public. A dramatic, visceral and magical staging, it was one of the few productions to survive a disastrous fire in 1994, and after painstaking repairs was returned to the stage in 2003. Internationally acclaimed husband-and-wife team Daniela Dessi and Fabio Armiliato sing the roles of Aida and her lover Radames, while celebrated baritone Juan Pons takes the role of Aida's father Amonasro. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
