Aida

On the banks of the Nile, Aida, the Nubian princess is reduced to slavery. She becomes romantically involved with the Egyptian captain Radames, who is engaged to the pharaoh's daughter, Amneris. As their forbidden love intensifies, Aida is forced to strike a balance between her heart's desire for Radames and her responsibility to lead her people.
