This spectacular version of Verdi's "Aida" will be performed 'in the round' amongst the ruins of Ancient Egypt.

This epic work explores the tragic love triangle between the Ethiopian slave girl Aida, the King's daughter Amneris, and the Captain of the Guard Radames. Verdi's score contains some of the most poignant and powerful arias in opera.

The terracota-coloured Royal Albert Hall is one of London’s favourite concert venues. Whilst it remains most famous for classical music and the annual Prom concerts, it also holds rock and pop concerts, sports events and award ceremonies.
