Cincinnati Opera Presents Aida - Cincinnati Event

Closing the 2007 Opera Summer Festival is Verdi's exhilarating work Aida performed at historic Music Hall. With its exotic Egyptian setting, elaborate choral scenes (Act II's "Triumphal March" among them), and powerful principal performances, Aida has earned its rightful place as one of the most popular operas of all time. Aida was last performed during Cincinnati Opera's 2000 Summer Festival. American soprano Lisa Daltirus makes her Cincinnati Opera debut in the title role, Aida. Returning to Cincinnati to sing the role of Radames is Canadian tenor Richard Margison, hailed as "the leading Radames in the world today" by Opera Canada magazine. Russian mezzo-soprano Irina Mishura will be singing the role of Amneris. Tickets: $27-$144 July 25, 27, 31 - 8PM July 29 - 3PM
