Description

The global hit contemporary Broadway Rock Musical Aida will debut in Shanghai Majestic Theatre on September 25th, 2008, opening its China Tour. The world acclaimed singer / songwriter Sir Elton John composed this musical for Disney (he also composed the Musical The Lion King). Aida came to be one of the longest running Disney musicals on Broadway. Crossing time and space to ancient Egypt, Musical Aida allows audiences to appreciate a grand epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal. Composed by Elton John and his continued collaboration with lyricist Tim Rice after their first collaboration work – Disney worldwide phenomenon The Lion King, Aida is a spectacular musical combined with contemporary pop-rock elements. As the postmodern Broadway interpretation of classic Verdi opera, the Musical Aida features modern dance choreographed by Sarita Allen – a former principal dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Company. Big League Productions, by special permission from Disney Theatrical Productions, acquired the rights to create this fresh and new touring production of Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida. This production has been touring in North America and all over the world with huge success.Musical Aida was created in 2000 based on the same story line of the Opera Aida. Composer Elton John mixed Rock & Roll, Pop, Jazz, Gospel Soul, and other trendy music elements into the musical, which became a smash hit on Broadway after its premier, and won 4 Tony Awards in the same year, including Best Original Musical Score, Best Actress, Best Scenic Designer, and Best Lighting Designer. Aida also won the Grammy Awards for Best Musical Show Album in 2000. In addition to the modern choreography and the glamorous multi-media effect, the creative team, which wrote music for The Lion King and other Disney Cartoons, worked together again for Aida, and came up with this stage spectacular.

Romance Amid the Pyramids

Can love overcome hate? This eternal question is posed in song by Sir Elton John and Tim Rice in their famous Broadway musical, Aida, an adaptation of Giuseppe Verdi's 1871 opera about a love triangle between the Egyptian princess, Amneris, who covets Radames, an Egyptian soldier, who in turn is torn between his loyalty to the Pharaoh and his love for the slave girl Aida, actually a captured Ethiopian princess. City Weekend wants to send four lucky readers to see this centuries-old romance, so check out the "Deals & Prizes" section online to find out how you can win a pair of tickets to the show. ¥100-1,080
