Printer-friendly version Famous opera 'Aida' comes to PurdueBy Philip MeekerStaff Writer "Aida," one of Verdi’s top three Opera’s, dramatizing a love triangle between a woman slave, a lieutenant and a princess, will show 3 p.m. on Sunday at Elliott Hall of Music. "I think the big question is ‘What would you do for love?’" said Todd Wetzel, of Purdue Convocations, which brought the play. "In essence the lieutenant gives up everything, his future, his ability to become royalty by marrying the princess," he said. Instead, he’s entombed alive in a pyramid with the slave he loves, said Wetzel. The opera’s lyrics are in Italian, and there will be subtitles. However, there will be an essence of Egyptian and Ethiopian music since the play’s set in those countries. Before the show, limited-term lecturer Don Seybold will give a talk about the opera at 2 p.m. in Hovde 102. Tickets range from $13-$35, for more information go to (www.purdue.edu/convos/aida.htm).
