Valery Gergiev And Mariinsky Theatre Giuseppe Verdi Opera Aida – Shanghai Grand Opera House, Shanghai

About this event

The event is the Mariinsky Theatre's production of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida, conducted by Valery Gergiev. The work is set in ancient Egypt and explores love, loyalty, conflict, fate, and war. Giancarlo del Monaco directs a staging that uses a historical perspective, symbolic stage imagery, and fluid transitions to renew the opera's theatrical structure while retaining its central dramatic conflict. The production credits Antonio Romero as set designer, Gabriela Salaverri as costume designer, Emil Faski as choreographer, Yevgeny Podezdnikov as lighting designer, Dmitry Ivanchenko as video designer, Konstantin Rylov as principal chorus master, and Yuri Kokko for musical preparation. This Shanghai presentation is described as the Asian premiere of the Mariinsky's new Aida.
