GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The triumphant love story between an Egyptian prince and a slave transcends warring nations and brings a
country together. Winner of four 2000 Tony Awards, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida is an epic tale of
love, loyalty and betrayal chronicling the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her
country, Amneris, an Egyptian princess, and Radames, the soldier they both love. As their forbidden love
blossoms, Aida is forced to weigh her heart against the responsibility she faces as leader of her people. The
love Aida and Radames has for one another becomes a shining example of true devotion that ultimately
transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented
peace and prosperity.
