If you stripped away the plot of Giuseppe Verdiâs
Aida, leaving behind only the spectacle â the grand costumes, the triumphant music, the dancers, the epic sets â that would be enough to keep an audienceâs attention.
With all the movement and colour on stage, it would be easy for the story to get lost. So itâs all the more impressive that, 150 years after
Aida was first performed, Opera Australiaâs Melbourne staging brings new depth to the story, as well as adding to the visual grandeur.
