About the opera

Opera’s most spectacular work makes a triumphant return in this new production by Graeme Murphy, who brought you Puccini’s unforgettable Turandot.

In Ancient Egypt, the princess Amneris hopes to marry Radamès, a military commander, but Radamès is in love with her slave-girl, Aida. What will be their destiny as Radamès is forced to choose between his love for Aida and his loyalty to the Pharaoh?

This exotic production has all the punch and pageantry to match Verdi’s thrilling choruses and breathtaking arias. Australian soprano Zara Barrett makes her role debut as the Ethiopian slave Aida, with Australian-born, UK-based tenor Julian Gavin performing the role of Radamès and Milijana Nikolic as Amneris.
