Duration: 3 hours with intermission
Even if commissioned by the Egyptian viceroy to celebrate the opening of the Suez Channel in 1870, the opera was staged only the following year because of the French-Prussian war which had delayed the preparation of the sceneries and the costumes in France. The opera reflects the style of the grand opera of French tradition with an extraordinary plan, without giving up an intimate and well-outlined psychologist description of the characters. The unusual ‘Egyptian subject’, the solemnity of the protagonists, the archaic religiousness of the atmosphere offered Verdi the occasion to unify tradition and renovation and to use the experience of Don Carlos. To the popularity of Aida certainly contributed famous pages such as the “Marcia trionfale” or traditional novels like “Celeste Aida”; yet its success does not lie in the ease of the musical language, but in the high dramatic tension. In its solid and large construction, the score includes dance, chorus and the ‘local colour’, without threatening the whole musical discourse. What is striking is the ability of the composer to move, without slipping, from the great collective tableaus to the loneliness of the protagonists, by exploiting, as a connective texture, a kind of musical exoticism.
