Aonia edizioni. Aida e un'opera in quattro atti di Giuseppe Verdi,
su libretto di Antonio Ghislanzoni, basata su un soggetto originale
di Auguste Mariette. Ismail Pascia, kedive d'Egitto, commissiono un
inno a Verdi per celebrare l'apertura del Canale di Suez (1869) nel
1870, pagandolo 80.000 franchi, ma questi rifiuto, dicendo che non
scriveva musica d'occasione. Invece quando venne l'invito di
comporre un'opera per l'inaugurazione del nuovo teatro del Cairo,
accetto. Tuttavia la prima dell'opera fu ritardata a causa della
guerra franco-prussiana dato che i costumi e le scene erano a
Parigi, sotto assedio. Il teatro del Cairo s'inauguro invece con
Rigoletto. Quando finalmente la prima di Aida ebbe luogo, l'opera
ottenne un enorme successo e ancora oggi continua ad essere una
delle opere liriche piu famose. La prima rappresentazione in
assoluto al mondo avvenne quindi al Teatro khediviale dell'Opera
del Cairo. (Wik.)
