Ryukoku University Broadway Musical Circle presents its 7th production, 'AIDA!'

Winner of four Tony Awards, this timeless Disney love story based on the classic opera by Verdi, is an epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal. It centers on the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her homeland, Amneris, an Egyptian princess, and Radames, the warrior they both love. The exhilarating Grammy Award-winning score by Elton John and Tim Rice, ranges from rock and reggae to gospel and Motown and features soaring ballads and rousing ensemble numbers.
