The vocal cast recounts the tragedy and music of Aida with passion. The soprano, Jennifer Rowley, offers a profound and intense interpretation of the Ethiopian slave.
The vocal distribution, top-notch, offers memorable performances. Jennifer Rowley embodies the Ethiopian heroine, torn between love and duty, with strength and pathos.
In the title role, American soprano Jennifer Rowley delivers some fine moments in the duets with Radames in Acts III and IV (thanks largely to her skillful use of piano)… Her Aida is sorrowful and submissive, crushed by Amneris’s personality and her father’s arrogance.
“The singing cast shone, with Jennifer Rowley as Aida, the young Ethiopian slave in love with General Radamès.”
