Since I was a teenager in 1950s Dublin, when I first heard this on Radio Eireann, I have never failed to find delight in this wonderful composition - one of my lifelong favourites without a doubt!
This opera is so important for many reasons: 1) It touches the soul in the most spectacular manner. 2) It will be with us forever; just look at all the great composers of the last 2 or 3 hundred years. All we have to do as music lovers is to EDUCATE the younger generations as we were educated in the past. I was 17 years old, I knew ALL the pop music of the day but was begged to sit down and open my ears and my mind. That was more than 50 years ago. AIda was one of my first operas. WOW!!!
This wonderful piece gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything; It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good, just, and beautiful.
THE BALLET SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS STUPID ... UNLESS YOU'RE LOCKED INTO 1800 something and them you'd have gallumphing, corseted 250 {+} femmes roaring over the stage ......
ugh..seeing this live in 2009 set my whole hear on fire. I cried as sooon as they played the first note. love love love. to aida. to callas. and, of course, to VERDI.
@rockon919 Who Is Richard Dawkins ? Professor Dawkins is a world-renowned evolutionary biologist, a leading figure in the opposition of religious nonsense, a great scientist and a distinguished author. he has many programs here on YT, look him up...also, go to wikipedia for a much fuller account of who he is.
@rockon919 You don't 'believe' in evolution...hmm, understanding why this is the case is of interest to me. I strongly suspect it is based on ignorance...but anyway, take care.
@nordhorny hmm...how the hell did Dick's name get here...and talking about evolution...wtf...stop make perfectly great, agreeable videos into another manifestation of the atheist/Christian cultural wars...typical atheist social autism...
@physphilmusic "hmm...how the hell did Dick's name get here...and talking about evolution...wtf...stop make perfectly great, agreeable videos into another manifestation of the atheist/Christian cultural wars...typical atheist social autism..."
- I'm an educated man, but that does not prevent me from answering with this - wipe your mouth when you are finished defecating.
It's an interesting concept but I guess it can be traced down to another social phenomenon. Somwhere there in the 19th century some people started to draw a line between high art, and light art. Before that, opera was only considered as 'music.' Kings and royal subjects were listening to it. But yes as you said opera was 'nominated to the first league' and left behind it's mere shell for the middle class which was called 'operette'.
Not only i am not mad but I am also shockedby the fact that it is not obvious for you. This parade, in the Opera houses, costumes etc. has no artistic value at all. It is money spent for the sake of spending. No music, no creation, no thought. Big production. Pseudorealistic things like bringing real horses on the stage. No artistic forms. Awful taste. Most of opera is like that.
How can't t oyou make the connection? Why so much money has to be spent? Explain.
@kamvysis "blind, altiar, blind is all you've ever been..." and why all this empty hate towards an opera? if you hate it so much then why go out of your way to comment on triumphal march? and tell me, what kinda of "art" do you find tasteful? those abrasive and loud metal band with a dark taste because "there music fits my petty problems" . seriously kid, get a brain and stop taking out pent up rage you have against your mom here, who more then likely took you to see aida against your will
@kamvysis You simply don't understand what I am saying.
Criticism of the opera and the role of organised art in Western society has begun since the 19 th century. Read Tolstoy's What is art. Read about the question of realism in art and think about big productions. If you think that the only alternative to opera is Heavy metal, then your range of examples is really too short. I do not say anything about the music s of the operatic masters but of opera sa a social phenomenon.
@kamvysis so what your saying that opera shouldn't be considered art but rather of its own? if im understanding what your saying now, then you are saying what we should consider art should be paintings? isn't art suppost to be something that is designed for the masses to enjoy? not only do i consider opera, and symphonic music art, but even modern things like video game, cooking, software programing. i think your definition of what art truly is is quite narrow and you should consider widening it
@herrhitlerfuntime Things and practices do not have only one meaning, as do sentences - you know it. I am just suggesting that opera may be a great art _ I do not have the slightest doubt about it - but it is also a social and economic phenomenon. It became popular in the 19th century, and the notion of grand opera emerged in that era. It was not for the masses - what means masses- it was also a satisfaction of the bourgeois society.
@herrhitlerfuntime Today it is not -except in Italy perhaps- a popular but a bourgeois entertainement.
When the Metropolitan Opera - and since theoretic Adolphe Appia in the end of the 19th century it has been pointed out- brings real horses onto the stage, this is an INTERPRETATION of Opera today that for me has not artistic thought behind it, it bears the signs of a thought "put real horses, they will be impressed by the show and the economic capacity of us doing such an expensive production"
That's a popular misconception. it was simply a commission from the Khedive of Egypt for his recently built opera house (and even then, not the theatre's inaugural piece)
I don't agree with the negative criticisms. Although I will rapidly admit, I am not a music expert. I just know I like what I like and I really like this. I don't know how the soldiers marched in those days. This production is coming to Israel this coming summer (2011) and we already have tickets to see it. Enjoy the nicer things in life. You won't see any explicit sex scenes, or hear any f**k words, so sit back and take it all in.
The one thing that always bothered me about Aida is how lame the march it self. If a soldier marched like that back than he would get 10 lashes as punishment.
@tomersde the ballet is even worse, the moves have absolutely no connection with the music played, its as they dance to a sound with complete different tempi.
you have Mendelssohn´s wedding march, Wagner´s bridal march,Wagner´s Tannhauser festive march, Elgar´s Pomp and circunstance no.1,Mozart´s Figaro wedding´s march,Schubert´s military march, Beethoven´s ruins of athens,Tchaicovsky´s Slavonic march,Berlioz´Rakoczy march, all of De sousa´s marches, and many treasures more but above all of them stands out the top of the cream, Verdi´s Triumphal march from Aida and here with the outstanding performance by the Met, GIGANTIC VERDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me, or do the trumpets sound out of tune and hollow? I am in no way suggesting it's the fault of the section, I think its probably those show trumpets that they have to play for Aida.
This is almost the same as the one I saw today at Lincoln Plaza in 2010!!!! Even if it is the Met I thought the production would be different after 21 yrs. Hah!
The Grand Entrance is great but those leg kicks out of the lifts in synch w/ the music ore possibly among the cheeziest things i have ever seen--poor Joe Green!
I'm watching the Met's new production on PBS right now, and, I FINALLY "get" grand opera! Wow, what a spectacle! This scene just aired, and I'm pretty sure that it's the exact same set from this 1989 production, which begs the question, 'Where the heck do set pieces of that size get stored-for nearly 20 years??!!'.
I saw MOP's "Tosca" a few weeks ago, and, I really enjoyed that, too.:)
Yes, he certainly would! I beleive so! His music will live forever! I almost fell asleep during the 3rd and 4th act when I saw this at the movies 2 days ago! My mother took me to see it and I loved it since the opera was in Italian, and they had English subtitles, I was able to understand what the cast was singing about! Seeing Aida was a wonderful birthday present that my mother has ever given me in all my years! Seeing this at the movies was 38$ for both me and my mother!
It's my birthday today! My mother is taking me to see this at the movies tonight! I never saw the Italian version of Aida I saw a local community theater production of Tim Rice's and Elton John's Aida and I loved that and now, I'll get to enjoy this one also! I was very excited when my mother told me she was taking me to see the opera verson of Aida on the big screen! I have one question, is Zoser in the opera along with the rest of the Aida characters such as Pharoah?

you have Mendelssohn´s wedding march, Wagner´s bridal march,Wagner´s Tannhauser festive march, Elgar´s Pomp and circunstance no.1,Mozart´s Figaro wedding´s march,Schubert´s military march, Beethoven´s ruins of athens,Tchaicovsky´s Slavonic march,Berlioz´Rakoczy march, all of De sousa´s marches, and many treasures more but above all of them stands out the top of the cream, Verdi´s Triumphal march from Aida and here with the outstanding performance by the Met, GIGANTIC VERDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me, or do the trumpets sound out of tune and hollow? I am in no way suggesting it's the fault of the section, I think its probably those show trumpets that they have to play for Aida.
Am I crazy?

is it just me or do the trumpets sound awful, tone and intonation-wise...It must be those show horns the met has them play on for aida.

This is almost the same as the one I saw today at Lincoln Plaza in 2010!!!! Even if it is the Met I thought the production would be different after 21 yrs. Hah!

My Choir and I are in a show in the theater showing this opera... i have to say though i wasn't a fan of opera, this one made it easy to like!

I'm watching the Met's new production on PBS right now, and, I FINALLY "get" grand opera! Wow, what a spectacle! This scene just aired, and I'm pretty sure that it's the exact same set from this 1989 production, which begs the question, 'Where the heck do set pieces of that size get stored-for nearly 20 years??!!'.
I saw MOP's "Tosca" a few weeks ago, and, I really enjoyed that, too.:)

Great version of this piece, but the dancers are terrible. Their lethargic ballet doesn't really match the energy and excitement of the melody.

The Met's current production has new ballet choreography by Alexei Ratmansky. It's a lot more exciting, IMO.:)

not tomention their terribly out of sync with eachother. I guess the truely great dancers do strict ballet and the pretty good ones do opera.

Yes, he certainly would! I beleive so! His music will live forever! I almost fell asleep during the 3rd and 4th act when I saw this at the movies 2 days ago! My mother took me to see it and I loved it since the opera was in Italian, and they had English subtitles, I was able to understand what the cast was singing about! Seeing Aida was a wonderful birthday present that my mother has ever given me in all my years! Seeing this at the movies was 38$ for both me and my mother!

It's my birthday today! My mother is taking me to see this at the movies tonight! I never saw the Italian version of Aida I saw a local community theater production of Tim Rice's and Elton John's Aida and I loved that and now, I'll get to enjoy this one also! I was very excited when my mother told me she was taking me to see the opera verson of Aida on the big screen! I have one question, is Zoser in the opera along with the rest of the Aida characters such as Pharoah?
