“Maria Chiara is a dramatically
compelling Aida with a voice that has both the delicate high notes and the
strong chest voice that are essential for tackling this notoriously difficult
role.” MusicWeb
- Recorded at the world-famous Arena di Verona, this opulent production of Verdi’s popular opera Aida
is an adaptation of the original 1913 stage design.
- The dramatic
role of Aida was central to Maria Chiara’s repertoire, and she regularly
appeared at the arena as Verdi’s heroine throughout the 1980s, and again in
1992, when this production was filmed. Her intense, introverted interpretation
of the role is complemented by Icelandic tenor Kristján Jóhannsson’s Radamés,
and a cast including American mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick as Amneris, and Juan
Pons as Amonasro.
- Aida was the
first opera ever staged in the Arena - in 1913 on the occasion of the centenary
of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth - and remains the most frequently performed work on
the theatre’s programme, retaining unsurpassed popularity with the
international audiences that flock to the Arena di Verona.
