Sonja Frisell’s lavish 1989 production of Aida stars spinto soprano Aprile Millo in the title role of the Ethiopian slave, tenor Plácido Domingo as her secret lover, Radames, and mezzo Dolora Zajick as Amneris, the Egyptian princess Aida is forced to serve. James Levine masterfully conducts the Metropolitan Orchestra and Chorus through Verdi's sonorous score. In Italian with subtitles in English, the opera runs three hours, including intermission. All adults are welcome.
