Nabucco - Polish National Opera (web page >>)
Warsaw, Poland
An opera by Giuseppe Verdi
Soloists, Chorus and Orchestra of the Polish National Opera, Polish National Ballet
Written when the composer was not yet thirty, Nabucco was Verdi’s third opera, but the first to bring him fame and immediately place him among the most famous musicians. The libretto by Temistocle Solera, loosely based on events from the Old Testament, tells the story of the legendary king of Babylon, Nebuchodnezzar, leading his army against the Hebrews. Solera combines biblical themes with typically operatic melodramatic ones, and the conflict unfolds on many planes: political, family, and religious. Issues such as opposition to injustice, oppression and violence reflected Verdi’s democratic views, and the political allusions were obvious at the time the opera was written. (source: Teatr Wielki)
