After many years the Cairo Opera Company, Choir and Ballet and the Cairo Opera Orchestra, conducted for the occasion by Marcello Mottadelli, will bring Giuseppe Verdi's operatic masterpiece AIDA back to the Giza Pyramids on Tuesday 5, Wednesday 6, Thursday 7 and Sunday 10 October, 2010 at 8:00 PM in the Pyramids Theatre area next to the Sound and Light Show.
The performance is not listed on the Cairo Opera House website and, even if I had been told that it was on, I waited to have the opportunity to go to the ticket boot at the Opera House and see for myself. Well, now I am sure the opera is on (or at least ... tickets have been sold to me). Prices are 300, 200 and 100 LE.
Quite oddly for a performance of this kind, seating is free (in the area you chose, of course). Row and Seat number though are actually printed on the ticket. Hope this will not bring the chaos I have already witnessed a couple of times in the Small Hall and at the Gomhouria, with people seating as a first come first served basis requested to change seat by others claiming that that was the place on their ticket thus starting an argument that nobody seemed to be able to quell.
One last thing, ... no dress code enforced.
