Come see a New Zealand singer in an Italian opera at the Opéra Bastille in Paris.
Aida tells the tragic story of an Ethiopian princess enslaved in Egypt, torn between her love for Radames, an Egyptian general, and her loyalty to her homeland. Aida finds herself caught in a rivalry with Amneris, the Pharaoh’s daughter, and at the heart of an intimate drama set amid military conflict. Verdi’s opera blends grand spectacle (such as the famous Triumphal March) with powerful emotion, carried by unforgettable arias like “Celeste Aida.”
The performance will be sung in Italian with subtitles in French and English. It runs for 3 hours and 5 minutes with one intermission. For those interested, we’ll head for a drink at the Black Sheep Society, just around the corner, after the show.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. We must sell at least 10 tickets for this event to take place; otherwise, you will be refunded.
