Boston Lyric Opera, Aida for high school groups at Coolidge Corner Theatre

Boston Lyric Opera offers showing of Aida for high school groups at Coolidge Corner Theatre.

Exciting field trip opportunity for teachers and parents!

WHAT: Boston Lyric Opera and the Coolidge Corner Theatre present Verdi’s Aida in HD from the Bregenz Festival, starring Tatiana Serjan, Iano Tamar and Rubens Pelizzari, conducted by Carlo Rizz and staged by Graham Vick. Watch Aida come to life for your students on the famous floating stage of the Bregenz Festival in Austria! The story of the Ethiopian princess in love with her captor and driven to deceit by family loyalty is full of educational opportunity for your music, history, literature, theatre and humanities students. Slightly updated to reflect the timelessness of the struggles of war, this innovative production of Aida was called a “highly imaginative, opulently coloured new production” by Paris’s Agence France-Presse and the UK Telegraph said it has “spectacle at every turn.”

The running time is 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission. It is sung in Italian with English subtitles.

WHEN: Friday, November 12 at 9:30 a.m.

WHERE: Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard Street, Brookline

TICKETS: Tickets are $10 per person and can be reserved by calling 617.542.4912 x242 or emailing jhouse@blo.org. Payment will be due when you arrive at the theatre.
