Catalogue of Victor Records (1927)

VICTOR RECORDS ‘Number | =)2 8 and is a slave at Memphis, where she and the young soldier, Rhadames, have fallen in love with each other. Rhadames goes to the Egyptian war, and during his absence the King’s daughter, Amneris, discovers the attachment and is furious, as she herself loves Rhadames. Rhadames returns, covered with glory and bringing many prisoners, among them Amonasro, Aida’s father. The King releases all the prisoners, except Amonasro, and bestows his daughter on the unwilling Rhadames. In the next scene Amonasro forces his daughter to persuade Rhadames to become a traitor. The latter’s love for Aida and his distaste for the approaching union with Amneris lead him to consent. Amneris, however, has overheard the plot, and after vainly trying to induce Rhadames to abandon Aida, in a jealous rage she denounces him as a traitor, and he is condemned to be buried alive. When the vault is sealed he discovers Aida, who has concealed herself there that she might die with him, and the lovers slowly suffocate.
