An Al Ahram Weekly feature by music critic Ati Metwaly documenting Aida's history of outdoor staging in Egypt, including named performer and production detail for the large scale 1987 Giza pyramid production and the 1990s Luxor stagings at the Hatshepsut temple. Its strength is on the record detail from a named specialist critic writing for an established Egyptian publication with direct access to the production history it documents. Its limit is that it is arts journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship, so it is cited here for the documented performance history rather than for interpretation.
