​“Aida” is one of the flamboyant outdoor operas and highly-celebrated work of the legendary Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. The four-act opera is in collaboration with Antonio Ghislanzon who created the Italian libretto.

This unique masterpiece was crafted in an ancient Egypt setting commissioned by the “Khedive of Egypt,” Isma'il Pasha to celebrate the inauguration of the “Khedivial Opera House that premiered on 1871.

The plot revolves around Aida, the Ethiopian princess enslaved by Egyptians and Radamès, a military commander who fancies her and how their romantic preludes were intertwined with love, jealousy, loyalty and tragedy. 

 “Aida” offers a palette of monumental decors, spectacular scenes, powerful musical scores and outstanding operatic repertory, truly an unforgettable production! 

Due to its success, "Aida" is frequently performed  including renowned operatic carnivals and had been premiered all around the globe ever since its creation.

“Don Giovanni”  is an iconic character and the title of the two-act opera created by the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was derived from Tirso de Molina's infamous fictional character “Don Juan,” known as a seducer and libertine. 

This opera's libretto was said to be a “Dramma giocoso”, a genre of a mixture of comedy and serious action. It was distinctly created in a combination of drama, elegance, deviations of emotions and even vindication expressed powerfully through dance and music albeit the insightful and unsettling character of philandering "Don Giovanni".
​
Mozart's brilliance resounded all throughout the performance making the opera highly-acclaimed in fact, widely regarded as a part of his best creations not to mention as one of the greatest operas of all time. 

“Don Giovanni” has sparked interests and even became an inspiration to other famous philosophers and writers leading to amazing versions after its premiere.

The extraordinary story of the Broadway musical “Wicked”

8/3/2020

"Wicked" is one of the predominantly unforgettable Broadway musicals created by Stephen Schwartz. It was derived from a novel with the same title “Wicked” written by Gregory Maguire which was a reiteration of L. Frank Baum’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".

It is a story of Elphaba, the green-skinned who has a reputation of being the "Wicked Witch" albeit some sense of virtue and Glinda, the “Good Witch" in the Land of Oz and how their story of friendship was intertwined with unfortunate turn of events leading to estrangement.

Stephen Schwartz created a magnificent combination of classical orchestral score with modern rock ballads. Because of its uniqueness, the recording won the “Best Musical Show Album” in 2005 at the Grammy Awards and subsequently certified platinum on the following year. 

“Wicked” has been a consistent box office and has been successively featured on television shows, movies, and even recorded songs in different genres.
