![]() In order to discover whether Aida really is her rival, Amneris tells her that Radames has been killed in battle. The Egyptian army has again defeated the Ethiopian forces.Amneris eagerly awaits the return of Radames, while Aida mourns the defeat of her homeland. Radames is invested as Commander of the Egyptian army, and Ramfis and the Priests join him in praying for victory in the coming war. Alone, Aida is torn by her conflicting emotions: Radames will lead the Egyptians to war against her father and homeland, yet she cannot help loving him. Naming Radames as the new Egyptian Commander, the King, Ramfis and the soldiers cry out for war. The King summons his soldiers as an army messenger bring news of the recent Ethiopian attacks led by Amonasro. Victory in war would make him an eligible husband, but Amneris fears that her servant Aida might be her rival for Radames’ love. Amneris, the King of Egypt’s daughter, is also in love with Radames. He is in love with Aida, and hopes that if he leads Egypt to victory, he will not only be able to win Aida’s freedom, but also establish peace between their two countries. Radames, an army Captain, prays the choice will fall on him. Ramfis, the High Priest, will soon name the new Commander of the Egyptian army. She now serves Amneris, the Egyptian King’s daughter, but Aida has concealed her true identity. Aida, daughter of the Ethiopian King Amonasro, has been captured and made prisoner. It has regrettably been necessary to cancel BSL interpretation due to the interpreter sustaining a serious injury.
