AIDA is a pop-rock musical by Elton John and Tim Rice, based on the classic opera by Giuseppe Verdi. Set in ancient Egypt, the story follows the forbidden love between Aida, a captured Nubian princess, and Radames, an Egyptian captain betrothed to the Pharaoh’s daughter, Amneris. As their secret romance unfolds, the characters are torn between duty, loyalty, and personal desire, with Aida caught between her love for Radames and her responsibility to her people. Featuring a dynamic score blending pop, rock, gospel, and African rhythms—with standout songs like "Written in the Stars" and "The Gods Love Nubia"—AIDA is a powerful tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and enduring love that transcends time and cultural divides.
