About Aida: The grandest of grand operas, and a brilliant balance of spectacular pageantry and emotional intimacy. A bitter love triangle plays itself out against a backdrop of war and cultural oppression in this compelling tale of conflicting loyalties and forbidden passion. As Aida, soprano Micaela Carosi's “voice wasn't only luminous; she was alive in the role . . . every fear, frustration, and outburst of love registered in her voice, face, and body." (San Jose Mercury News). Recorded in HD, in 2010, and sung in Italian with English subtitles.
