Summary
With its cast of hundreds, thrilling score, and sweeping tale of love and heroics in ancient Egypt, Verdi's Aida has long been a fixture on the stages of every major opera house in the world. For the 2018 revival of Sonja Frisell's monumental production of this grand masterpiece, the Met assembled a truly all-star cast. Soprano Anna Netrebko, one of her generation's most compelling artists, takes on the title role for the first time at the Met, going toe to toe with powerhouse mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as her rival, the conniving princess Amneris. Tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko is Radamès, the warrior that both women love, and Quinn Kelsey lends his robust baritone to Aida's father, the fallen king Amonasro. Maestro Nicola Luisotti is on the podium to conduct this epic performance, filmed as part of the Met's series of Live in HD cinema transmissions.

Prelude
Sì, corre voce
Se quel guerrier io fossi! ... Celeste Aida
Quale insolita gioia nel tuo sguardo!
Vieni, o diletta appressati
Alta cagion v'aduna
Su! del Nilo al sacro lido
Ritorna vincitor!
Possente, possente Fthà
Danza scara delle Sacerdotesse
Mortal, diletto ai Numi ... Nume, custode e vindice
Introduction to Act II by Isabel Leonard
Chi mai fra gli inni e i plausi
Danza di piccoli schiavi mori
Fu la sorte dell'armi a' tuoi funesta povera Aida!
Su! del Nilo al sacro lido
Gloria all'Egitto
Triumphal march
Ballet
Vieni, o guerriero vindice
Salvator della patria
Che veggo! ... Egli? ... Mio padre!
O Re: pei sacri Numi ... Gloria all'Egitto
Introduction to Acts III & IV by Isabel Leonard
O tu che sei d'Osiride
Qui Radamès verrà! ... O patria mia
Ciel! mio padre! ... Rivedrai le foreste imbalsamate
Pur ti riveggo, mia dolce Aida
Fuggiam gli ardori inospiti
Aida! ... Tu non m'ami
L'aborrita rivale a me sfuggia
Già i sacerdoti adunansi
Ohimè! Morir mi sento!
Radamès! Radamès! Radamès!
La fatal pietra sovra me si chiuse
Immenso Fthà ... O terra, addio
