Book Reviews of Aida
Book Review: Aida
Summary: 4 Stars
It was a excellent story. I remember Moses was tested to qualify to
be the Prince of Egypt. He was to take Ethiopea for Egypt in Secularity.
He passed, the Ethiopians and Moses came into Egypt laughing and
brought gifts for the Pharoah.
I have one complaint, their hair was silky.
I found a earlier version played by Sophia Loren. The Egyptian was
white skinned also with silky hair. I will be making portraits
correcting the hair and skin. I enjoyed the book.
Summary of Aida
With depth and understanding, acclaimed diva Leontyne Price retells this famous opera about the beautiful princess of Ethiopia. "The Dillons magnificently capture the drama with powerful full-page illustrations that resemble stage sets. . . . Ideal for reading aloud during an Egyptian unit, in music classes, to children attending the opera, or for the pure aesthetic experience."--BooklistThere's no voice like that of opera singer Leontyne Price, and in this retelling of Aida, published in paperback for the first time, we discover that her writer's voice is equally moving. This tale of the Ethiopian princess-turned-slave, her soldier lover, and their inevitable tragedy is a favorite of Price, who reveals her feeling of sisterhood with the doomed Aida in the book's afterword. Price brings just enough distance to this story of love, jealousy, war, envy, and suicide to temper her passion. Telling the tale of Aida, one of the world's most famous--and tragic--operas, in appropriate language and tone is a task to which Price is more than equal.
