Soprano Angel Blue makes her long-awaited Met debut as Aida, the Ethiopian princess torn between love and her country, one of opera’s defining roles. Music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for the premiere of Michael Mayer’s spectacular new staging, bringing audiences inside the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations.
Mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi, following her 2024 debut in Verdi’s La Forza del Destino, is Aida’s Egyptian rival Amneris. Leading tenor Piotr Beczała is the general Radamès, who completes the greatest love triangle in the opera repertory. The all-star cast also features baritones Quinn Kelsey as Amonasro, basses Morris Robinson as Ramfis and Harold Wilson as the king.
