: The Opera Tattler Reviews of Performances and their . Audiences La Bohème at the Met Aida at the Met May 08, 2023 Notes I considered skipping the Saturday evening performance of Aida Act II ovation pictured as my flight out of New York left in the morning , but Sonja Frisell's production is being retired , so I'd never have another chance to see it in person . I have attended a performance of this Aida production back in 2009, but I was at a score desk and did not see it . It is nothing sort of spectacular , even without . elephants Designed by Gianni Quaranta , the set is very grand , with enormous palace halls and watery vistas on the banks of the Nile . There are lots of ballet dancers and horses . Dada Saligeri's costumes look very much in keeping with an Ancient Egyptian setting .
