A MILLENIUM-ENDING rendition of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Aida, has got underway beneath Egypt’s Great Pyramids, drawing more than 4000 tourists and Egyptians on opening night, officials said Wednesday. The opera will be staged every night through October 17. Two hundred singers and extras, including the famed Verona choir perform the opera, which has been a feature since 1994 for Egypt’s high-society and foreigners. Sopranos Sylvie Valayre, Lucia Mazzaria and Iman Moustafa, an Egyptian, are playing the part of Aida, while Radames is played by tenors Nicolas Martinucci and Kristjan Johanson. Tickets went for 100 dollars to 250 dollars.
