Eventually, Radames is accused of treason and he is sentenced to death by being sealed in a tomb. Aida hides in the tomb and Radames discovers her and they die in each other's arms.

Answer 2

Aida is about Nubian princesses and their kingdom. Their problem is that the egyptions are taking over. NOT VERY HAPPY!

Second Answer

Egypt is at war with Ethiopia. Aida is the Princess of Ethiopia, who has been captured by the Egyptians. She is serving as maid to Amneris, the Princess of Egypt. Radames is the leader of the Egyptian army. He and Aida are secretly in love, but Amneris loves him too. The Opera tells what happens between the three of them. It's fairly long, but it's one of Verdi's best, and unquestionably his most popular opera.

Answer 3

Aida is essentially Romeo and Juliet with a twist. Aida is a Nubian princess who has been captured by the Egyptian general Radames. Radames is engaged to the Egyptian princess Amneris. Aida and Radames end up falling in love although they are supposed to be enemies. Radames considers breaking his engagement to be with Aida, but she does not allow it. Eventually, Amneris finds out about this secret relationship. The law says that Aida and Radames need to be buried alive in separate tombs. However, Amneris lets them be buried together. The musical begins and ends in a modern day museum with a statue of Amneris. At the end of the musical, Aida and Radames re-enter the stage, byt this time, they are dressed in modern attire. They lock eyes in from of the statue of Amneris, and the lights go out.
