Opera lecturer, Erika Reitshamer returns for to speak on Aida at 2:00 pm in the Large Meeting Room. Aida takes place in ancient Egypt. There are pharaohs, impassioned princesses, oppressed slaves and heaps of spectacles, including a Triumphal March. A truly Grand Opera! But Verdi’s ultimate goal was the expression of human drama. The Sonja Frisell production will feature Aprile Millo, Dolora Zadjik, Plácido Doming and Sherrill Milnes.
