The Desert Hills High School Fine Arts Department proudly presents their fall musical selection adapted from the four-time Tony Award-winning hit, “Aida: High School Edition.” With music and lyrics written by Elton John and Tim Rice, “Aida” is an epic tale of love, loyalty, and betrayal. Chronicling the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country; Amneris, an Egyptian princess; and Radames, the soldier Aida and Amneris both love, this contemporary musical take on the classic and tragic tale of love is certain to be a crowd-pleaser with exuberant dancing, staging, and singing.
This is the first Desert Hills High production under the direction of Ani Rogers as theater director. Rogers has a reputation for magnificent productions, a passion for details, and incredible dedication.
“Ani Rogers is one of the most talented young directors, and not only in southern Utah—but, quite possibly in the country,” says Bruce Bennett, St. George Musical Theater director.
“I can hardly wait to see what Ani Rogers does next,” says Varlo Davenport.
“Aida” offers an excellent opportunity to see Ani Rogers continue her wave of success in the community and to enjoy a spectacular production. The multifaceted story of forbidden love promises to captivate audiences. This contemporary production filled with engaging theatrical music is certain to be the first hit of many for Rogers at Desert Hills High.
The curtain will rise each night on the Desert Hills stage Wednesday, Nov. 18, through Saturday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults or $8 for students, seniors, and children under the age of 12.
