In this episode of Big If True, we travel to ancient Egypt---or a fictional version of ancient Egypt, which is the setting for Aida, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. Today we're talking to Steven White about this grand opera, and what it takes to make such a production. This episode is for you even if you don't know anything about opera, or you think you don't like opera!
