Double bill of operas from the 1980s starring tenor Luciano
Pavarotti. In 'Aida' Pavarotti performs the role of Radamès
alongside Maria Chiara and Ghena Dimitrova. Lorin Maazel conducts
the Teatro alla Scala Orchestra and Chorus. In 'La Bohème'
Pavarotti stars as Rodolfo with Tiziano Severini leading the San
Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus. The rest of the cast includes
Mirella Freni, Sandra Pacetti and Gino Quilico.
Egypt and Ethiopia are at war. Radames is appointed commander of
the Egyptian forces by the King, whose daughter, Amneris, loves
Radames. It is in fact Amneris' Ethiopian slave Aida whom Radames
loves. Ramades wins the war against the Ethiopians, capturing
Aida's father Amonasro in the process. On his return to Egypt he
faces a choice between marrying Amneris or betraying his country
through his love for Aida. This new production was a triumphant
success when it opened at La Scala in December 1985 and Luciano
Pavarotti's long awaited performance as Radames, his first in
Italy, was greeted with rapturous applause.
