Aida (sometimes spelled Aïda, pronounced /ɑːˈiːdɑː/ ah-EE-dah, from Arabic: عايدة, pronounced [ˈʕaːjdah], an Arabic female name meaning "visitor" or "returning") is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni, based on a scenario written by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette. Aida was first performed at the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo on 24 December 1871, conducted by Giovanni Bottesini. OriginIsmail Pasha, Khedive of Egypt, commissioned Verdi to write the opera for performance in January 1871, paying him 150,000 francs, but the premiere was delayed because of the Franco-Prussian War. One scholar has argued that the scenario was written by Temistocle Solera and not by Auguste Mariette. Contrary to popular belief, the opera was not written to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, nor that of the Khedivial Opera House (which opened with Verdi's Rigoletto) in the same year. (Verdi had been asked to compose an ode for the opening of the Canal, but declined on the grounds that he did not write "occasional pieces".) From Wikipedia under the

I was planning on doing something from either Dracula or Aida. The 1992 movie version of Dracula would be best, and the Tim Rice and Elton John version of Aida would be best.

Johal - Mon Apr 21 14:46:08 2008 What is the highest note that Amneris *belts* in Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA?
Q. I know she belts pretty high but I don't know the exact note. Also what is the highest note (in head voice) and the lowest note she hits in the show? Thank you! Asked by the steamed artichoke - Thu Dec 10 15:59:39 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. in I know the truth, in the music, she sings a low E, but it's not really "sung" and can be spoken instead or sung on a G. Amneris HAS to have a solid upper range, belting/head voice at least to an E in the score i think. You need a solid upper-belt register or realy powerful mix/legit voice. At least, for my strongest suit, it should be a Db, and I know the truth a D in belt to sound powerful and mature and bitter and twisted :P Think Elphaba's range except sounding a bit younger and purer, but bitter and selfish. That's how i'd play her anyway. Amneris is such a brat but is really complex. Btw you'll also need some solid low G's for "Every Story". You couldn't change that, but if desperate, you could riff a bit lower in Strongest suit :) [cont.] Answered by nesselphie - Thu Dec 10 16:27:05 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "aida" Aida (2000-2004) is a Broadway musical with music composed by Elton John and book/lyrics written by Tim Rice.
