Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA

Elton John and Tim Rice's award-winning AIDA is a timeless love story with everything from reggae and gospel to zealous rock ballads, produced with all the emotion and excitement of a stunning Broadway musical.
A magical vision of a truly great opera adaptation, AIDA is the winner of four Tony® Awards in 2000. Bursting with contemporary energy, AIDA tells the story of a love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country, Amneris, an Egyptian princess; and Radames, the soldier they both love. Elton John says: "AIDA is not opera. It's truly a pop musical with spoken dialogue and all kinds of recognizable song types: urban-based rhythm and blues, gospel inspired songs, ballads and, of course, Crocodile Rock songs." This epic and classic tale of love, loyalty, betrayal and courage has an exhilarating Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning score by Elton John and Tim Rice, their first collaboration since writing the music for The Lion King.
Time Magazine said this is, "A big, bright show with luscious Elton John Melodies." Spend the evening at The Grand and you're sure to agree!
