Goulburn Race Club's girls day out

Elton John and Tim Rice's 'Aida' is the winner of four tony awards and an epic tale of love, loyalty, and betrayal. The musical chronicles the love triangle between an enslaved Nubian princess, the daughter of the Pharaoh, and an Egyptian soldier. Forced to weigh her heart against the responsibility that she faces as the leader of her people, Aida's love becomes a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between warring nations. This heralds a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. It has an unforgettable score, featuring soaring ballads and rousing choral numbers. 'Aida' is a modern crowd-pleaser that embraces multicultural casting and exuberant dancing, staging, and singing. It's on at the Creative Precinct, Hume Conservatorium on Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 12. Tickets are available online.
