Aida
Washington National Opera
Simulcast live from
The Kennedy Center to Washington Nationals' Park
Opera In The Outfield
New Co-Production with San Francisco Opera, Seattle Opera, and Minnesota Opera
This was a grand opera to simulcast and a double treat for me. Aida was the very first opera I ever attended. It was in Verona several decades ago, and I was hooked forever. We used nine cameras to cover Francesca Zambello’s spectacular production of Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece.
I loved everything about this one and the dance elements were an added bonus. Bravo WNO!
