Aida backstage

Set designer, Giuseppe De Filippi

The sets are on their way from Verona to Athens -if not already here- Lucrecia García and José Balestrini were seen together at the last performance of I Puritani at the Megaron, Dimitra Theodossiou who's currently in Athens, will be back on the 21st of May, just a few days before the premiere as she will be singing Abigaille in Wiesbaden on the 19th and 20th of May, we listened to Walewska´s Azucena at the Royal Opera House and we liiiiked her, and the ticket sale goes fast!

Here are a few pics from the making of the sets at the workshops of the Arena di Verona.

I hate to admit that the scale model of the set reminds me of my worst Aida nightmare...Sets for performances at St. Margarethen like the one below (but you can't judge a set by it's scale model).
