In 1868, the Egyptian government asked Verdi to write an Egyptian opera for the Cairo theater, which was to be built in 1869, to open the Suez Canal. However, the composer only in 1870 agreed to take up the composition of Aida. A short script was drawn up by the French Egyptologist Mariette, who lived in Cairo. The work of libretto in prose in French was undertaken by du Locle, and on this basis Gislanzoni wrote an Italian poetic text. Verdi actively participated in the creation of the libretto. It was he who introduced the theme of fidelity to the homeland and the conflict between duty and feeling (Radames, Aida), as well as the idea of ​​condemning the war of conquest, hostility between peoples.
