One of the greatest and most beloved of all operas, AIDA is here presented in dramatic narrative and colorful pictures, enriched by the melodies of the most famous themes and arias.
The beauty, pageantry and drama of this tale of the ancient war between Egypt and Ethiopia, of Rhadames, the ambitious young warrior, of Amneris, the proud and jealous Egyptian Princess, of Aida, the captive slave, unfolds in a manner almost as vivid and thrilling as the actual performance on the stage of the immortal opera.From the dust jacket
