Verdi's "Aida" is the prototype of the opera spectacle from the heyday of industrialisation. The music theatre collective Matter of Facts Studio associates the "Aida" material with contemporary cruise industries. Together with oud player Abed Harsony, performer Asja Mahgoub, clarinettist Heni HyunJung Kim, bassist and gambist Rebecca Lawrence and Hamburg choir Klub Konsonanz, Matter of Facts Studio explore the opera system in microtonal interstices. Arabic harmonies overwrite Western European operatic tradition, the triumphal march is disarmed and anti-arias become an alternative source of energy.
