Aida is one of Verdi’s most renowned operas, set in ancient Egypt and revolving around the forbidden love between the Ethiopian princess Aida and the Egyptian military commander Radamès. As political and personal loyalties conflict, the opera explores themes of love, duty, and betrayal. Verdi’s powerful music, grand choruses, and emotional depth-particularly in arias like "Celeste Aida"-make Aida a masterpiece of the operatic repertoire.
