AIDA by Becca
The lights dim, the room shakes from the volume of the music, and the curtain slowly rises. My heart is pounding and I can barely wait for the first spoken word from someone’s mouth. As people begin to come onstage, my eyes begin to dart from person to person excitedly. Then, it starts.
I thought it was so neat that it started in present time in a museum. It was magical how it silhouetted on the futuristic Radames and Aida. As the stage takes place and the music begins to pump through the auditorium, the whole scene was so powerful I was awestruck and I could barely wait for the next part.
I was extremely surprised when the first set was actually in a present-day museum. At first I didn’t understand what was going on then I realized that it actually took place in ancient Egypt but was just setting the presence of what was going to happen.
As the story went on from the present-day to ancient Egypt, I loved the scene change and the slight costume change as well. I really liked the courage Aida had to stand up to Radames and to protect her people, as well as herself. I would’ve never thought that the two would have ended up together.
The scene changes and goes into the Pharaoh’s daughter’s chambers. Amneris happens to be my character because she is definitely the comic relief of the whole play, plus she is warm-hearted and very innocent. The love that Amneris has for Radames is very powerful, and as the play went on, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
My least favorite character, who actually was frightening, was obviously Zoser. He was so evil and I couldn’t help but hate his character. Throughout the play, he kept getting more vicious and vengeful. I feel awful saying this but I was glad that Zoser didn’t get his way in the end.
It was so heart wrenching and emotional when Radames and Aida fell in love and had to be torn apart. I also felt a rush of gratitude toward Amneris when she said that Radames and Aida were allowed to be buried together.
My favorite part of the play had to be the very end when the present-day Radames and Aida made eye contact at the museum and the curtains closed. It was so powerful that I cried.
I really loved meeting with the actors and talking with them. Casey, who happened to play Ramades, was so down to earth and real that I couldn’t help but totally love him. And I really enjoyed meeting with the other main characters too. When I talked with the, I was intimidated and all and I thought that I could definitely could be friends with them.
Going and seeing AIDA live was such an amazing experience and I couldn’t help but get caught up in all the emotion and the love that was shared between Aida and Radames. I really want to see the performance again and I can’t wait until the next performance.
