In the 104th edition of the Verona Arena Opera Festival, Aida returns to the stage in the revolutionary "crystal" production, created and curated for direction, sets, and costumes by the multifaceted artist Stefano Poda.
Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece about the Ethiopian princess enslaved in Egypt, featuring transparency, unique plays of light, and rich symbolism suspended between Ancient Egypt and contemporary art, will be performed for 6 shows, from June 19 to July 24, 2026. A multifaceted and modern staging, capable of speaking to everyone, balancing classic Egyptian iconography with the stylistic innovations of Paco Rabanne, Roberto Capucci, and Damien Hirst.
Composed in 1869 for the inauguration of the Suez Canal, Aida by Giuseppe Verdi tells the love story of the young Aida, daughter of the king of Ethiopia but made a slave in the service of Amneris, daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt. In love (and reciprocated) with the valiant Radamès, betrothed to Amneris, Aida will follow him to his tragic death, showing him love and fidelity.
Performances: June 19, 25 at 9:15 p.m. - July 2, 10, 19, 24 at 9:15 p.m.
