Meet the Characters / The Story/ Resources Fostering familiarity with specific operas as well as the operatic art form, these sections describe characters and story, and provide historical context. Guiding questions are included to suggest connections to other subject areas, encourage higher-order thinking, and promote a broader understanding of the opera and its potential significance to other areas of learning. Guided Listening The Guided Listening section highlights key musical moments from the opera and provides areas of focus for listening to each musical excerpt.

  • • See Spectacular Productions of Verdi's Aida & Nabucco, Together
    See spectacular productions of Verdi’s Aida & Nabucco, together with Bizet’s Carmen at the Verona amphitheatre Private visits & lunches at two handsome villas & gardens An exploration of historic Verona Private visit to Isola del Garda on Lake Garda 4* country hotel in Valpolicella wine country Villa Arvedi near Verona Can there be anything more exciting on a warm July evening than to sit in the great Roman Amphitheatre of Verona as the orchestra prepares to launch into one of Verdi’s or Bizet’s marvellous operas? Equally stimulating are the summer delights of the country villas and gardens of the Valpolicella wine region. These sit tantalisingly close to the civic munificence of one of Northern Italy’s most delightful cities, Verona. Verona owes its origins to the Romans, for whom it was an important stop on routes to the north and west. Much remains to be seen from this era such as the Amphitheatre (the venue for the Opera Festival) and the layout of the city’s urban plan. Today’s city is organised round two major medieval squares, the Piazza delle Erbe and the Piazza dei Signori, built on top of their Roman predecessors. These charming spaces, together with the surrounding streets and alleys, have palaces and monuments of outstanding beauty, testifying to the wealth of its native aristocracy. From Medieval times there are many churches to be seen, including the city’s cathedral and particularly San Zeno with its fine paintings, including Mantegna’s San Zeno Altarpiece. For those with a secular or romantic agenda, there is also, of course, the supposed house of Juliet.

Explore the resources listed below and continue your journey of inquiry and discovery! USC LIBRARIES RESOURCE GUIDE VISIONS AND VOICES and the USC SCHOOL OF CINEMATIC ARTS, in conjunction with the METROPOLITAN OPERA in New York, present the HD telecast of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida. To help you learn more about Verdi’s masterpiece, ROSS SCIMECA of the USC LIBRARIES has selected the following resources. Introduction Giuseppe Verdi composed 28 operas during his lifetime. Aida is the 26th, followed by his late masterpieces, Otello and Falstaff. What is unique about Aida is that it is a grand opera, meaning it features extended choruses, ballets and marches composed in a theatrically spectacular style. Like Don Carlos, which preceded Aida by five years and premiered at the Paris Opera, Verdi brilliantly integrated these spectacular elements with the vocal elements of traditional opera. Camille du Locle took the plot for his French-language libretto for Aida from the work of Egyptologist Mariette Bey. The libretto was later translated into Italian verse by Antonio Ghislanzoni. Commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt, Aida premiered at the Italian Theatre in Cairo on December 24, 1871. It was a sensational success, as it was two months later at Milan’s La Scala. The opera reached New York’s Academy of Music on November 26, 1873. You can find the Italian-language libretto of Aida and an English translation in the Opera Classics Library by clicking on the Databases tab at: www.usc.edu/libraries/eresources.

  • Aida (Complete Libretto) Music: Elton John Lyrics: Tim Rice Book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls & David Henry Hwang ------ACT ONE Prologue the MUSEUM
    Aida (complete libretto) Music: Elton John Lyrics: Tim Rice Book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls & David Henry Hwang -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT ONE Prologue THE MUSEUM Lights up on the Egyptian wing of a Modern Art Museum. A contemporary crowd, chic and beautifully dressed, is gathered around various artifacts, all under glass: a small boat, a model of a soldier with a bow and arrow, a mannequin of AMNERIS, ancient female Pharaoh of Egypt. The crowd moves appreciatively around the exhibits. In the center of the room, also behind glass, is a mysterious object - an ancient burial chamber, a tomb. A man and a woman also dressed in the fashions of today approach the tomb from different sides. They are both drawn to it. They circle it, intrigued as if they have seen it before. The man is RADAMES; the woman is AIDA. In a musical moment, they look up. Their eyes meet and all the action in the room freezes as AMNERIS, wearing a royal headdress, emerges from the glass encasement. As she sings, the cast of the modern museumgoers leaves the stage. 1: EVERY STORY AMNERIS Every story, tale or memoir Every saga or romance Whether true or fabricated Whether planned or happenstance Whether sweeping through the ages Casting centuries aside Or a hurried brief recital Just a thirty-minute ride (AMNERIS steps off of the pedestal and stands before the audience.) Whether bright or melancholy Rough and ready, finely spun Whether with a thousand players Or a lonely cast of one Every story, new or ancient Bagatelle or work of art All are tales of human failing All are tales of love at heart (The lights change violently with a rock and roll chord.
