Aida

About the show

Aida, an enslaved Ethiopian princess, loves the Egyptian commander Radamès, who returns her love; the Egyptian princess Amneris also loves him. After Radamès defeats the Ethiopians, Aida’s father Amonasro is captured and reveals his identity. Radamès frees the prisoners but becomes engaged to Amneris. Amonasro persuades Aida to learn the army’s route from Radamès; when he reveals it, Radamès is arrested for treason. He is sentenced to be buried alive, and Aida hides in his tomb so they can die together.
