Aida at the Lyric Opera
Opera at its grandest! While “Aida” delights audiences with its visual splendor, it also captivates them with a score ranging from exquisitely intimate arias to deeply dramatic duets and trios, and the most thrilling choruses Giuseppe Verdi ever composed. “Aida” presents a riveting love triangle, which unfolds in an alluring Egyptian setting. At Lyric Opera of Chicago, each of the five principal artists boasts not only a sumptuously beautiful voice, but also the charismatic presence to bring these characters vividly to life. Conducting Francesca Zambello’s striking production will be Music Director Enrique Mazzola, acknowledged internationally as an exceptionally authoritative Verdian! Enjoy a wonderful lunch before the show at the Ukrainian-owned Russian Tea Time Restaurant.
