Zurich Opera does Aida

Another event with the girls was to go to the Zurich Opera to see Aida--done again in modern style with couches, television set, and scrims. A lot of commentary on war and post-traumatic stress in returning soldiers of war: Radames has it. No Elephants parading, but a dramatic ending where the "roof falls down" so to speak on Radames in the tomb and Aida find each other; Amnares comes on stage as the Angel of Death (non-singing role)makes peace with Aida and the two (Aida and Radames) end on a couch to die together. Very interesting and great singing by Amneris Iano Tamar, Aida Laonia Moore, and Radames Aleksaandrs Antonenko.
