Southern Ontario Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus

In a remarkable career spanning six decades in the theater, Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901) composed 26 operas, at least half of which are at the core of today’s repertoire. His role in Italy’s cultural and political development has made him an icon in his native country. The story of Aida is thought to have been created by Auguste Mariette (1821–81), an extraordinary French archaeologist who founded the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. Camille du Locle (1832–1903), who collaborated on the scenario with Mariette and suggested the story to Verdi, had worked with the composer on the libretto of Don Carlos. Aida’s librettist, Antonio Ghislanzoni (1824–93).

We are mounting a full production with costumes, props, sets, projections, English supertitles, soloists, Chorus, Full Orchestra, and dancers. Our cast of soloists will be fully staged, while our Chorus will have limited movement and will not be off-book. Aida is very Chorus-heavy; they are a very integral part of the opera. The Chorus, along with the cast, will be in original costumes.
