Opera Australia: Aida Live on Sydney Harbour

Director
Gayle Edwards
Certificate
U
Running Time
157 mins

Handa Opera‘s biggest ever production, recorded back in 2015 against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour.

Expect full-on operatic grandeur, including spectacular sets, big battle scenes and the famous Triumphal March, plus plenty of fireworks. For the uninitiated, Verdi’s Ancient Egyptian love triangle yarn has warrior Radames hoping to get jiggy with enslaved Ethiopian Princess Aida. Alas, Pharaoh’s daughter Princess Amneris also has the hots for our hero, making any attempted leogover politically tricky. Cue: much (operatic) wailing.
