American soprano Angel Blue takes the lead as the Ethiopian princess caught between love and country in a new production of Verdi’s Aida by Michael Mayer. The staging immerses audiences in the grandeur of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations. Romanian-Hungarian mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi stars as Aida’s rival, Amneris, alongside Polish tenor Piotr Beczała as the soldier Radamès, completing opera’s greatest love triangle. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the performance.
