1871 opera set in the Old Kingdom of Egypt (4)

I believe the answer is:

aida

(Other definitions for aida that I've seen before include "Verdi's slave girl" , "work of grand proportions" , "Verdi's opera set in ancient Egypt" , "Operatic lady" , "Verdi's Egyptian opera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
