The performance of Aida will be a school edition performed by the students of Good Shepherd Lutheran College. The story of Aida is a musical based on Giuseppe Verdi’s Italian language opera by the same name. The musical was produced by Disney Theatrical with music by the notorious Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. The story begins in the Egyptian wing of a museum where a man and woman catch each other’s eye while taking a tour. Statues come to life, the man and woman are transported to ancient Egypt where the audience can then follow the love story of Radames, his betrothed Princess Amneris and Aida, a captured Nubian slave.
