Thursday: Opera Matinee - Verdi's Aida
Tom Redmond introduces a performance of Verdi's beloved ancient Egyptian tragedy, Aida, from the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels as part of a Belgian-themed week.
Tom Redmond brings in the new season of Opera Matinees on Afternoon Concert with Verdi's Aida - a timeless tragedy set in ancient Egypt with themes of war, national pride, freedom-fighting and exile that are as relevant to today's Mediterranean basin as it would have been to Verdi in the 19th century. In keeping with the week's Belgian theme, this performance comes from the Th茅芒tre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels.
