Set in ancient Egypt, Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is an epic tale of an enslaved Nubian princess, Aida, a jealous Egyptian princess, Amneris, and the soldier they both love, Radames. As the story unfolds, forbidden love blossoms and a choice must be made between leading with a yearning heart or a responsible mind. Filled with love, loyalty, betrayal and murder, this finale to The Muny's 98th season will be "Written in the Stars" with this enchanting production re-envisioned for The Muny stage.
