MESSENGERThe sacred soil of Egypt is invaded
by the barbarous Ethiopians. Our fields
have been laid waste... the crops burned… and
emboldened by easy victory, the plunderers
are already marching on Thebes.

Do they dare so much!
MESSENGER
A warrior indomitable and ferocious,
Amonasro, leads them.
RADAMÈS, KING, RAMFIS, PRIESTS, MINISTERS, CAPTAINS
The King!
AIDA
(My father!)
MESSENGER
Thebes is already in arms, and from her hundred gates
will sally forth to meet the barbarous invader
with war and death.
KING
Ay! Let war and death be our cry!
RAMFIS
War!
RAMFIS, RADAMÈS, PRIESTS, MINISTERS, CAPTAINS
War! War! Terrible, unrelenting!

Revered Isis has already named
the commander-in-chief
of our unvanquished armies:
Radamès!

Ah, thanks be to the gods!
