New York – “Aida”, the charming masterpiece of Verdi, is the latest opera release for Decca of Andrea Bocelli, released worldwide tomorrow. The passion and commitment that the tenor has put in this work shines through in all of his recording, made at the Florence Opera with an exceptional cast that sees the Maestro Zubin Mehta to direct the Chorus and Orchestra of Florentine Maggio Musicale. Andrea Bocelli plays the role of Radames, an Egyptian military commander forced to choose between loyalty to his king and his love for Aida, the captured Nubian princess. The role of Aida is entrusted to the young American soprano Kristin Lewis, a repeatedly acclaimed interpreter of Verdi heroines. (9Colonne)
