Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Tim Rice
A fresh take on one of classical opera's grandest tales. Aida's story offers passion and intrigue
amidst cultural clashes of ancient Egypt and today! Ultimately, love transcends bitter divisions
between nations and results in a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. The eclectic score
features pop-rock ballads and tremendous chorus numbers by music icon, Sir Elton John and lyrics
by Tim Rice. Aida embraces multi-cultural characters, exuberant dancing and singing. Elton John's
pop style is laced with generous doses of reggae to gospel music and strong influences from
African, Indian and Middle Eastern cultures. AIDA won 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score.
