“Baritone
Donnie Ray Albert will perform the role of Amonasro in AIDA with the
Edmonton Opera, October 2012.”
The production also casts
Angela M. Brown in the title role:
Aida
“It is the
grandest of the grand operas, with Verdi at the peak of his creative
powers. Radames, the victorious Egyptian warrior, desires the hand of
Aida, the enslaved Ethiopian princess. However, the King’s own
daughter Amneris has designs on the conquering hero. The result is a
bitter love triangle fueled by the strongest emotions — love and
jealousy. This inspired tale of ancient Egypt, conflicting loyalties
and forbidden passion is fueled by soaring arias, surging choruses
and exhilarating orchestral music. From the seductive slave dances
and the triumphal march to the power of ‘Celeste Aida’ and the
hauntingly heart-rending finale, this music is some of the most
memorable in all of opera.”
