This Swedish version of Giuseppe Verdi's late 19th-century tragic opera tells the story of an Ethiopian princess who is forced into slavery when captured by the Egyptians. The women are depicted in various stages of nudity and the vocals are all sung in Swedish with Lorin Maazel conducting. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
