Description: The Royal Opera perform Gli arredi festivi giu cadano infranti in Daniele Abbado's powerful staging of Nabucco. Verdi's epic opera is available to stream via our website until 19 February. Watch here: stream.roh.org.uk/products/nabucco Starring award-winning baritone Amartuvshin Enkhbat as Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), Liudmyla Monastyrska as Abigaille, and world-renowned bass Alexander Vinogradov as Zaccaria, the tragic tale of one desperate father unfolds against an epic biblical backdrop. 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. Enjoy this video?
