The musical tells the story of Aida, a Nubian princess, who is captured by an Egyptian captain named Radames. Radames is engaged to Pharoah’s daughter, Amneris, and does not know that Aida is a princess. As Radames’ father Zoser secretly schemes to poison Pharoah and have Radames take the Egytian throne, Radames soon realizes that he is drawn to Aida’s courage, pride and love of her country Nubia and its people. Aida’s doesn't want anyone know that she is a princess, however the secret is leaked by Mereb, Radames’ palace slave, who tells the other Nubian slaves that their princess is among them. Mereb brings Aida to them and together they sing of their love for Nubia.  As his wedding to Amneris approaches, Radames declares his love to Aida, and she to him, and their future and their fates become forever intertwined and doomed.
