Info for Verdi: Nabucco (Live)

Recorded at the 2019 Festival Verdi in Parma this is a coproduction between Teatro Regio and HNK Zagreb. The powerful staging by Stefano Ricci and Gianni Forte was awarded the Abbiati prize in 2018. The action takes place in 2046 on a military ship, which reminds us of an Ark. This performance has many references to the contemporary world and portays a dystopic society. Nabucco is turned into an oppressive dictator who is obsessed with his own image. The Hebrew slaves are portayed as refugees wearing life vests, while on the ship's deck there are various screens displaying the regimes propaganda.

Before starting work on "Nabucodonosor", which was later to become his iconic "Nabucco", Giuseppe Verdi was on the verge of abandoning music, discouraged by the flop of his second opera. He then received a libretto by Temistocle Solera almost by chance, as it was destined for another composer. Verdi was very reluctant to start work on the text, but later he recalled that one night he “threw the manuscript on the table […] the booklet opened. Unwillingly, my eyes were drawn to the page that was before them and onto these verses: Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate.” So he started focusing on the task and “one day one verse, the next day another verse, a note and a phrase at a time, […] little by little the opera was composed.”
