Whoa! What a mighty production. If you watch nothing else but Act II, Scene 2 then it would be worth it alone for its music, pageantry, costumes, dancing, and singing. But there’s much more in this tale of Egyptian passion, war, intrigue, jealousy and final redemption: wonderful warbling from Placido Domingo as love struck Radamès, who pines for the Ethopian slave, Aida sung by Aprile Millo, her rival the Pharaoh’s daughter, Dolora Zajick as Amneris and Aida’s warrior father, Sherrill Milnes as Amonasro. One of Verdi’s greatest operas in what must surely be one of the greatest productions of it.
