Marching to the Beat of My Own Drum
I gotta tell you, the opening of the Triumphal March in Aida is like the ancient Egyptian version of a rock concert, minus the electric guitars and crowd-surfing mummies. Imagine a pharaoh dropping the beat with a chorus line of soldiers and priests getting down to a bassline that could shake the pyramids!
High Notes and Higher Egos
I start off Celeste Aida with a tenor's dream and a glass-shattering nightmare, all wrapped in one. It's like serenading your love from atop a camel, under the desert stars, but you've got to hit those high notes or you'll end up buried in the sand!
Homesick Melodies
I kick off O patria mia with a tune so nostalgic, even the Sphinx would shed a tear. It's like your homeland is calling you on a vintage papyrus scroll, but instead of text, it's all in high-pitched hieroglyphics!
