Aida at the Royal Opera of Sweden

Can love conquer all? A country ravaged by armed conflict, religious wars and power struggles are on the verge of collapse. Aida is a young prisoner of war who finds herself torn between two warring parties. Against all reason, she falls in love with Radamès. We watch the doomed, relentless love between two young people pitted against a chaotic world. Aida premiered in Cairo in 1871 and is one of Giuseppe Verdi’s all-time successes.
