AIDA by Aaron
AIDA is truly a classic love story. Although it has some of the average parts of a love story, there are many unique parts. Some of the unique things include the costumes and props, the setting, and the characters.
The costumes were amazing, yet simple. It was very interesting how they wore different styles of clothing although it took place during the Egyptian times. I believe it showed that a love story like this can happen during any decade. It is not impossible to experience what Aida and Radames experienced. The costumes really added to the personality of each character. It gave a clear description of how the characters acted and felt. The props added much to the show. The Egyptian art was all present in different acts of the play and also displayed in the museum where everyone could get a glimpse of the action and romance that occurred in Egyptian times. Without the beautiful costumes and props the show would not have the same glow to it that it has now.
The setting was a very unique time and place to put the story of Aida. Rather than placing AIDA in medieval times or presently; it occurred during the time of the Egyptians which no love story has done before. Making the show even more unique is the involvement of Africa. I’m glad that this love story takes place in a totally different time compared to most love stories because it makes it more interesting and enjoyable to watch. Nothing else can compare to AIDA.
The characters were another thing that made the show very interesting. All the characters had amazing voices, but my favorite was Amneris. Her voice was very moving and beautiful. Likewise, Aida and Radames had amazing voices. Aida had a very powerful voice that moved you to action and really made you feel the way she felt. I honestly did not like Zoser’s voice. His voice was very monotone and slightly boring. All their personalities were very lively and sometimes very funny. Radames made a big change in his personality throughout the performance. In the beginning he was hateful, cruel, and prejudice. But as his love grew for Aida he became loving, kind, and respectful. Amneris had a very funny personality that made everyone laugh. She was also very kind and fashionable. Aida had a wonderful outlook on life, and lived each day with happiness and love. Zoser had a very evil attitude, and hated anyone that was not Egyptian. Zoser was greedy and looked for power. All of the characters were very well acted out and added much to the worth of the performance.
AIDA is a performance that everyone should have the privilege of seeing. It was very motivating and powerful. I cannot help but compare this with the story of Romeo and Juliet. Aida and Radames had a strong love for each other that could not be broken. It could not even be broken by the strongest enemy, death. Death only caused them to live and share their love for eternity.
