At first uninterested, Verdi eventually found himself drawn in by the khedive's persistence, not to mention a tempting plot line by a leading Egyptologist. To this day much mystery surrounds the opera's creation. This book explores that mystery and examines Aida in detail, highlighting its genius and tracing the process through which Verdi and his librettist Ghislanzoni shaped the lyrics. It also considers Aida's spread from Cairo to the rest of the world, discussing aspects of its unique and interesting staging. Following this history, the book provides a critical survey of recordings of Aida, including 33 of the entire opera and three abridged versions.

Abstract	In the late 1860s, Ismail Pasha, khedive (viceroy) of Egypt, asked Giuseppe Verdi to compose an opera to premiere in the Cairo Opera House. At first uninterested, Verdi eventually found himself drawn in by the khedive's persistence, not to mention a tempting plot line by a leading Egyptologist. To this day much mystery surrounds the opera's creation. This book explores that mystery and examines Aida in detail, highlighting its genius and tracing the process through which Verdi and his librettist Ghislanzoni shaped the lyrics. It also considers Aida's spread from Cairo to the rest of the world, discussing aspects of its unique and interesting staging. Following this history, the book provides a critical survey of recordings of Aida, including 33 of the entire opera and three abridged versions. The final chapter discusses film and video presentations.
