AIDA at Cape Town Opera

Event information

Cape Town Opera presents Verdi’s Aida with an all-African cast in a bold, Africanfuturist reimagining of this iconic opera.

Set against a backdrop of war, forbidden love and cultural conflict, Aida follows the love story of an enslaved Ethiopian princess and an Egyptian commander. Under Minnaar’s direction, this production combines video, animation and Gregory Maqoma’s choreography to bring a vivid, futuristic world to life.

With a 56-member chorus and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra under Kamal Khan, this production promises to be a cultural highlight of 2025.

Act I and II are 80 minutes long, while Act III and IV are 70 minutes long, with an interval of 30 minutes. No under-fives will be permitted.
