Egypt, during the reign of the pharaohs. At the royal palace in Memphis, the high priest Ramfis tells the warrior Radame虁s that Ethiopia is preparing another attack against Egypt. Radame虁s hopes to command his army. He is in love with Aida, the Ethiopian slave of Princess Amneris, the king鈥檚 daughter, and he believes that victory in the war would enable him to free her and marry her. But Amneris loves Radame虁s, and when the three meet, she jealously senses his feelings for Aida. A messenger tells the king of Egypt and the assembled priests and soldiers that the Ethiopians are advancing. The king names Radame虁s to lead the army, and all join in a patriotic anthem. Left alone, Aida is torn between her love for Radame虁s and loyalty to her native country, where her father, Amonasro, is king. She prays to the gods for mercy.
In the temple of Vulcan, the priests consecrate Radame虁s to the service of the god. Ramfis orders him to protect the homeland.

ACT II

Ethiopia has been defeated, and Amneris waits for the triumphant return of Radame虁s. When Aida approaches, the princess sends away her other attendants so that she can learn her slave鈥檚 private feelings. She first pretends that Radame虁s has fallen in battle, then says he is still alive. Aida鈥檚 reactions leave no doubt that she loves Radame虁s. Amneris, certain she will be victorious over her rival, leaves for the triumphal procession.

At the city gates the king and Amneris observe the celebrations and crown Radame虁s with a victor鈥檚 wreath. Captured Ethiopians are led in. Among them is Amonasro, Aida鈥檚 father, who signals his daughter not to reveal his identity as king. Radame虁s is impressed by Amonasro鈥檚 eloquent plea for mercy and asks for the death sentence on the prisoners to be overruled and for them to be freed. The king grants his request but keeps Amonasro in custody. The king declares that as a victor鈥檚 reward, Radame虁s will have Amneris鈥檚 hand in marriage.
