The Georgian Mezzo-Soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, who sings the role of the powerful pharoah's daughter Amneris, was delighted to take part in this new version under Chailly's guidance:

“I think Maestro (Chailly) is the type of musician who likes and loves to discover new, interesting things in music.

"And there will be people who will say, 'No, this is not Aida. This is something else. I want the old version'.

"And there will be people who will accept it and will love it. So I love his courage to say to the people: 'You have to choose. I like it. I hope you like it too'.”
