 More than 250 performers present you the biggest arena opera spectacle of the decade!  Immerse yourself in ancient Egypt at the time of the pharaohs...

Even before the Hanseatic Symphony Orchestra (in a large cast) under the direction of MD Michael Ellis Ingram, plays the first notes of the opera, you are at the foot of the temple, at the gates of the royal palace. Walking into the arena is like a journey back to the distant past: you smell lotus blossoms, pine trees, spices and the waters of the Nile, feel a warm breeze, hear the soft chirping of crickets as the sun slowly rises and our story begins....

The entire arena is our stage: soldiers, priests and numerous Egyptian women in the entourage of Princess Amneris enter the arena from all directions: For example, the aria of Radames is sung in the auditorium - up close between the spectators and to be followed simultaneously via our large video wall.

The rattling of swords, the marching of our soldiers, the flowing of the Nile water - Our AIDA is an audiovisual spectacle around a love story of two people: AIDA & Radames - prisoners of Ethiopia and the commander of Egypt.
