Aida is, for most of us, the quintessence of Ancient Egypt, but it
is certainly not just for archaeologists. Michael Rose points out
that it is really about patriotism - an issue of burning importance
to Verdi and his contemporaries. Music critic William Mann reflects
that even a short look at the score reveals subtleties that repay
careful listening. And Verdi's own letters show the germs of the
opera grow from suggestion to creation. Contents: Verdi's 'Egyptian
business', Michael Rose; 'Aida' - Text and Music, William Mann; The
Genesis of 'Aida', Roger Parker; Aida: Libretto by Antonio
Ghislanzoni; Aida: English version by Edmund Tracey
