Cancelled

Amande Concerts presents: Aida

Mon 1 Jan 0001 - Tue 12 Apr 2022, Octagon Auditorium

TICKETS:* £22.00 - £36.00

South Somerset District Council and The Octagon Theatre have taken the decision to cancel the forthcoming appearance of The Russian State Ballet and Opera House that were due to perform Aida on Tuesday 12 April, The Nutcracker on Tuesday 15 November and Sleeping Beauty on Wednesday 16 November.

Discussions and consultations between management, producers, and agents have been ongoing since last Thursday.

The decision to cancel is absolutely the right thing to do given the circumstances.

We appreciate that the production company and artistes involved in these productions are in no way responsible for the actions of the Russian government and this decision was not an easy one to make. However, it is imperative that we share our support and solidarity towards the people of Ukraine during this difficult time.

All customers who have purchased tickets will receive a full refund.

Amande Concerts presents Aida

Music by Giuseppe Verdi Sung in Italian with English Surtitles.
Featuring an impressive cast and accompanied by a live Orchestra of over 30 musicians.

Verdi brings ancient Egypt to the stage with an evolving love story set to the backdrop of war.

Princess Aida of Ethiopia falls in love with the Egyptian General Radames, who is also in love with her. Radames is chosen to lead the war with Ethiopia by the King. Aida is left to choose between her lover or her father and her country.

Se quel Guerrier io fossi sung by Radames in the first act is one of the most famous arias of the operatic world. The most powerful melody comes in the form of a Triumphal March to highlight victory and triumph.

A deeply moving opera, overflowing with emotion and containing moments of despair and uncertainty. Aida is an unforgettable and inspiring experience.
