The story at the center of this contem- porary Aida is the legend that became the libretto of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera of the same name. This classic tale of forbidden love, set against the backdrop of Ancient Egypt and enhanced by the extraordinary talents of its composer and lyricist, Elton John and Tim Rice, makes Aida a unique and special educational tool. information desk information By using the study guide, you will see how Aida exposes us to the past (History), expands our visual and verbal vocabulary (Language Arts), illuminates the human condition (Behavioral Studies), demonstrates a process of analysis and implementa- tion (Math and Science), and encourages creative thinking and expression (The Arts). The study guide was developed as a series of lesson plans that, although inspired by and themed around Aida, can also accompany class study of other literary, theatrical, or historical works. To assist you in preparing your presentation of each lesson, we have included an objective; an excerpt from the lyrics of the Broadway production of Aida; a discussion topic; a writing assignment; and an interactive class activity. A reproducible handout accompanies each lesson unit which contains an essay ques- tion; a creative exercise; and an “after hours activity” that encourages students to interact with family, friends, and the community at large.
