Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the reincarnations of Radames and Aida looking at in the museum at the beginning?

Answer: Aida and Radames' tomb

This is a really neat scene because although the two keep seeing each other, they keep diverting their eyes away.

2. What does Mereb "mysteriously lose track of" while Radames is away?

Answer: a few flasks of wine

Mereb is my favorite character!

3. Amneris says: A slave who knows her ________? I'm keeping her! Oh Radames, he knows me. He really, really knows me."

Answer: fabrics

After all, dress is Amneris' strongest suit!

4. Which of these colors was not worn by Aida at any point throughout the show?

Answer: red

Aida wears white when she is in the museum and when she is captured at the beginning. She wears purple as a servant many times in the play, and in much of Act Two, black is worn.

5. What was the original title of "Aida"?

Answer: "Elaborate Lives: The Legend of Aida"

It was later shortened.

6. Fill in the blank of these lyrics from "The Past is Another Land": "...you long for our _____, but that you will never posess!"

Answer: spirit

This is the first song Aida sings in the play.

7. Where was the original production of "Aida" first performed?

Answer: Atlanta, Georgia

It opened in Atlanta, then went to Chicago, where the title was shortened and other changes were made. From Chicago it traveled to Broadway. As far as I know, "Aida" has never been performed in London. (Write to me if I'm wrong!)

Answer: "The Lion King"

Ms. Headley played the original Nala on Broadway in Disney's "The Lion King".

Answer: Nehebka

Nehebka was Aida's best friend. When the soldiers of Zoser came to the Nubian camp to kill her, Nehebka proclaimed, "I am Aida!" and saved the princess.

10. True or false: The laser beams in "A Step Too Far" represent the pyramids of Egypt.

It was meant to represent the love triangle between Aida, Radames, and Amneris.
