The Aurora Theatre is busy preparing for the upcoming blockbuster opera production of Aïda, on Saturday. Conductor and Choir Master Colin Attard has now finalised his musical rehearsals with the Aurora Opera Chorus and awaits artistic director Novella Tabili to arrive from Italy to go on stage for rehearsals.
The major cast, which includes Franco Farina from the Met Opera of New York and the Elena Zelenskaya from the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow, arrived last Thursday to join forces with a 75-strong chorus plus an additional 75 supernumeraries. Costumes and accessories are being brought over from the Sartoria Teatrale Pipi of Rome.
