They say you can’t go home again, and Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida knows it all too well. Captured from her homeland of Ethiopia and enslaved in Egypt, she falls in love with an Egyptian warrior. Aida is torn between her love for this man and her love for her home and, because it’s opera, she ultimately chooses the tenor.
"There’s no place like home,” the saying goes, but Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida realizes she’ll never see her homeland again. Episode 2 of @WNYC // @MetOpera's Aria Code unpacks “O Patria Mia” from Verdi’s Aida, feat. @LaMoooore, @MShifferaw, and Naomi André. https://t.co/7ULPOOaS5c
