It' s Aida
The opera set in the time of the pharaohs is Giuseppe Verdi's "Aida." Premiered in 1871, it tells the story of a love triangle involving an Ethiopian princess named Aida, an Egyptian general named Radamès, and the Egyptian princess Amneris. The opera explores themes of love, betrayal, and the conflict between personal desires and duty, all against the backdrop of ancient Egypt's grandeur. Its rich musical score and dramatic narrative have made it a staple of the operatic repertoire.
