Nabucco

The opera's action takes place around 604-562 BC, when Nebuchadnezzar, the famous Babylonian king, conquers Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, and takes many Jews captive to Babylon. "Nabucco" is an opera full of passion, revenge, love, hatred, and blackmail, which ultimately leads to the redemption and transformation of the characters. The struggle for power, bloodshed, and conflicts of a religious, political, and familial nature are central themes of the work. The love triangle between Abigaille, who is in love with Ismaël, and Fénena, his beloved, generates a great deal of emotion.
