For a vivid, very traditional staging of this timeless Verdi work, the Metropolitan Opera's 1988 production by Sonja Frisell supplies sufficient grandeur and a suitably crowded triumphant march scene. For this revival, the soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska sings the demanding title role and the veteran tenor Marcello Giordani is Radames, with the acclaimed Olga Borodina as Amneris and the baritone Zeljko Lucic, fresh from his success in Verdi's "Macbeth," as Amonasro. Marco Armiliato conducts.
