Aida is an opera by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. It was first performed on 24 December in 1871 in Egypt, to celebrate the opening of the Khedival Opera House in Cairo. Although Verdi himself didn’t attend the premiere, he was still disappointed that the audience consisted of mainly invited politicians and critics, and no members of the general public. He therefore considered the Italian premiere at La Scala, Milan in February 1872 its real premiere. Since then, Aida has been performed frequently at opera houses around the world.
