Boston Lyric Opera will present “Aida” and “The Opera Gala” on November 10, 2024.

“Aida” will be performed at 3 p.m. at the Emerson Colonial Theatre and will be followed by The Opera Gala, BLO’s signature annual fundraiser, at 6 p.m. at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza Hotel.

Conducted by BLO Music Director David Angus, “Aida” will feature Michelle Johnson in the title role, Alice Chung as Amneris, Diego Torre as Radamès, Brian Major as Amonasro, and Morris Robinson in the role of Ramfis.

The Opera Gala will then return for the first time in four years and the event will honor four high-profile individuals for their contributions to the arts, the opera community, and the city. The inaugural honorees are philanthropists, business, and community leaders Ray & Maria Stata as Leadership Honorees, Morris Robinson as Artistic Honoree, business/social entrepreneur Leverett Wing as Community Honoree, and author, educator, and former Boston Globe chief classical music critic and journalist Jeremy Eichler as Humanities Honoree.

The gala will also recognize Arielle Rogers-Wilkey, the 2023-24 Season recipient of BLO’s Stephen Shrestinian Award for Excellence.
