Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida is a contemporary musical take on a grand classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms between them, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.
Aida, based on Giuseppe Verdi’s opera of the same name, premiered on Broadway on March 23, 2000, running for 1,852 performances until Sept. 5, 2004 (34th longest running Broadway musical). The musical also ran from 2001-2003 and from 2006-2007 during two U.S. national tours, and also ran in international productions that performed in 20 different countries, and is still performed in international productions, regional theatres, colleges and high schools.
