Story Place: Ancient Egypt Time: Unspecified, days of the Pharoahs Verdi asked his publisher for an Italian librettist and Antonio Ghislanzoni was chosen. Du Locle turned the sketch into French prose. This was an Egyptian sketch by Auguste Mariette, a French Egyptologist. Du Locle continued to make suggestions for operatic treatment. This opera was commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt who wanted to celebrate the construction of a new theater in Cairo that had been built in honor of the Suez Canal. In early 1870, du Locle asked Verdi to accept the proposal made the previous winter. Verdi refused he could not find a suitable plot. In 1869, someone (possibly du Locle) asked Verdi to write an opera for a distant land. Du Locle sent him a sketch by Auguste Mariette of an invented story with an Egyptian theme. Du Locle sent him many librettos, both comic and tragic. Verdi had become increasingly dissatisfied with librettos during the 1860s. The libretto for this opera was written by two young men, one of whom (Camille du Locle) would be instrumental in bringing Aida into the world. In 1865, Verdi wrote Don Carlos for the Paris Opéra.
