Damiano Michieletto brings "Aida" into an undefined today. Games to pass the time while the war rages outside: Elena Stikhina as Aida is the center of the performance.
The Russian has a genuinely lyrical, delicately harsh voice. This can expand and still produce those soul tones that Aida so desperately needs. The Bavarian State Orchestra counters this with its good sound education. George Petean sings an unusually reserved king, Amonasro, and the new boss of the Opera Choir.
