Verdi’s Aïda - Liverpool

A staging of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Aïda by North Wales Opera, directed by Anne Williams-King, presented at St George's Hall in Liverpool.

Aïda is an opera by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, set in ancient Egypt and built around a tragedy in which love and loyalty pull against each other. North Wales Opera presents this production, which Anne Williams-King shapes as an intimate reading of the work.

The drama moves through love, loyalty and public spectacle, and the music gathers weight as each choice draws the characters closer to their fate. The production is performed in English, so the story can be followed from scene to scene in the language of the surtitles and the staging.

The performance takes place in St George's Hall, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Liverpool. This staging is presented in the building's Great Hall, offering a classic opera in a historic civic building in the city centre.
