Opera “Nabucco”

From December 20 to January 23, there will be performances of the opera Nabucco on the stage of the Royal Opera House.

The tragic story of a desperate father’s descent into madness, his two daughters torn apart by their love for the same man, is set against the epic biblical backdrop of the Israelites’ exile from their homeland in Verdi’s early masterpiece.

The opera was an instant success at its 1842 premiere, with the famed Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (“Va, pensiero”) taking on an anthemic political resonance that lasts to this day. For this revival of Daniele Abbado’s 2013 production, Daniel Oren conducts Enkhbat Amartuvshin as Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar) King of the Babylonians. Anna Netrebko and Liudmyla Monastyrska share the role of the scheming princess Abigaille and Alexander Vinogradov is the high priest Zaccaria.
