When one speaks of opera, Verdi is often mentioned as the best opera composer of all time. His most famous opera perhaps is Aida with Egyptian themes, which is commonly believed to have been written to celebrate the opening of the Suez canal. It was commissioned by the ruler of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, but had nothing to do with the Suez canal. Here is the fantastic triumphal march from the second act. It is often performed in graduation ceremonies. The famous bit starts at 3:33. Enjoy!
