Director Noa Naamat sheds light on her new interpretation of Verdi’s Aida, explaining how the timeless story of one of the best-known works in the operatic repertoire continues to move audiences and resonate in today’s world.

Naamat’s production, set in a war-ravaged landscape in the Middle East, explores the effects of conflict on the lives of ordinary people. To her, Aida is not about glorifying war but about humanity, compassion and the essential meaning of peace.
