About this event

It was his first major success, his breakthrough, so to speak: Nabucco , premiered at La Scala in Milan in the spring of 1842, marks the beginning of the brilliant career of Giuseppe Verdi, who would rise to become the leading Italian opera composer for several decades, virtually unrivaled. Set in biblical times in Jerusalem and Babylon, Nabucco explores the fate of two peoples and cultures, but also the arrogance of the titular protagonist, who, in his excess, proclaims himself a god and subsequently descends into madness. Tableaux of solemn gesture and haunting music – such as the famous "Va pensiero" chorus of the captive Hebrews – stand alongside scenes of intense expression, filled with drama and passion.
