Operatic Plot
ACT I.
Aida, the unknown daughter of the ethiopian King Amonasro, lives at Memphis as a slave. Her father has made an incursion into Egypt to deliver her. Aida loves Radames, a young warrior (Romanza, Radames: "Heavenly Aïda"), but has a dangerous rival in Amneris, the daughter of the egyptian king. (Duet, Radames, Amneris: "In thy visage I trace.") Incited by Amneris, the high priest Ramfis (Terzett, Aida, Amneris, Radames: "Oh fate o'er Egypt looming") declares that Radames has been selected by Isis to be the leader of the army against Amonasro. (Battle Hymn: "On ! Of Nilus' sacred river, guard the shores.") Aida's heart is torn between her love for her father and for Radames, and she remains at Memphis. (Scene, Aïda: "Return a conqueror.")
Solemn ceremonies and dance of priestesses. (Chorus of priestesses: "O mighty Ptha.") Installation of Radames to the office of commander-in-chief. (Prayer, Ramfis and chorus: "O mighty one, guard and protect!")ACT II.
Amneris' chamber. Festal dances and music. (Chorus of women: "Our songs his glory praising.") Amneris receives her slave Aida and cunningly draws from her the avowal of her love for Radames. (Scene and duet, Amneris, Aida: "The chances of war afflict thy people, poor Aida;" Aida: "O love, O joy tormenting.")
Radames returns victorious. (Chorus, king and people: "Glory to Egypt, to Isis!") Grand triumphal march, Amonasro appears as a captive; unrecognised except by Aida. He declares that the Ethiopian king has been slain in battle. (Amonasro: "This my garment has told you already.") The prisoners are released at the request of Radames, and the grateful King of Egypt declares him his successor and the betrothed of his daughter.
