Verdi’s famous opera Aida, is said to be one of the greatest operas ever written. It tells the story of an Ethiopian princess whose love for an Egyptian soldier is complicated by the fact that their two countries are at war with each other and Aida’s love rival is the Pharaoh’s daughter. Aida will be performed with spectacular effect, with 12 metres high pyramids, palm trees and statues on the stage of the O2 Arena in Dublin on Friday 4 December and in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on Saturday 5 December. This opera calls for a large range of extras, some of whom have been chosen in Dublin to take part in both of these productions. Including some people you might know! But they need more!
