Programme notes: With the triumphal march in his opera Aida, Verdi created one of the most famous marches in music history and a piece of opulent stage music brimming with trumpet fanfares. In the opera the march to the glory of a pharaoh resounds, but in reality it pays homage to a viceroy of Egypt who commissioned the opera. The Suez Canal was opened in 1869, and a few weeks later the Opera House in Cairo, with Verdi's Rigoletto. Now one wanted to have an opera by the great maestro from Italy about an Egyptian subject, which the canal project was supposed to glorify. Verdi agreed after long and tenacious negotiations, after the story of Aida had finally found a material that touched him inwardly. The premiere in Cairo planned for 1870 had to be postponed, however, not only because Verdi completed the work too late, but above all because the decorations were made in Paris, which was then besieged by the Prussians. It was only after the end of the Franco-German war that the sumptuous decor arrived in Cairo. On Christmas Eve 1871 Aida had its triumphant premiere without Verdi being present. The Suez Canal, by the way, whose plans came from the Austrian Alois von Negrelli, was still in the red at the time. It was not until a few years later that this company was to be turned into a total triumph of shareholders. Quelle/Source: Kammermusikführer.de
