Nabucco est un opéra qui a fait de Verdi "la voix du peuple italien". Le thème de l'oppression et du manque de liberté du peuple a pris un écho particulier dans l'Italie de 1842, où ce sont les autrichiens qui dictent les lois ...
Nabucco is the opera which made Verdi the voice of the Italian people. Its theme of an oppressed people's yearning for freedom touched a responsive chord in the Italy of 1842. The stirring passion of Verdi's score proved irresistible in a country increasingly resentful of Austrian rule. "Va pensiero," the great chorus of longing, sung by the exiled Hebrews on the banks of the Euphrates, has become one of the best loved of operatic melodies, and for Italian patriots in the middle of the 19th century, the chorus quickly became an anthem. The background to the opera is historical: set during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco), King of Babylon. The fictitious charecters are Nabucco's daughters, Abigaille and Fenena, who are rivals for the love of Ismaele, Nephew of the King of Jerusalem. There is also a powerful bass role for Zaccaria, a Hebrew priest, who brings about the conversion of Nabucco. This performance was recorded at Verona, where the huge open-air Roman Arena provides a magnificent setting for this well-loved and spectacular epic.
Set during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco), King of Babylon, tells the tale of Nabucco's fictitious daughters, Abigaille and Fenena, who are rivals for the love of Ismaele, nephew of the King of Jerusalem. The opera includes the "Va, Pensiero," regarded by Italians in the nineteenth century as their national song.
Verdi's thrilling early opera is ideally served by the masterful conducting of Music Director James Levine and Elijah Moshinsky's powerful production. Juan Pons in the title role of the Babylonian King leads the cast of this biblical drama, opposite Maria Guleghina as the ambitious Abigaille and Samuel Ramey as the noble high priest of Jerusalem, Zaccaria. Gwyn Hughes Jones and Wendy White are the young lovers, Ismaele and Fenena.
This production by Roberto De Simone of Verdi's Nabucco opened the 1986 season at La Scala, Milan. Recorded live at the opening night.

Nabucco is the King of Babylon and travels and exercises relentless cruelty on the Israelites. Back in Babylon, Abigaille is told that their King has fallen in battle and she must take the throne. She is bitter because she found a document which proves she is not Nabucco's daughter but a slave who was adopted by Nabucco. She swears vengeance and upon her rise to power calls for the death of the Hebrews, just at this point Nabucco returns to place the crown upon his head.
Verdi's opera opens in ancient Jerusalem, as King Nabucco of Babylon, whose daughter Fenena is a hostage to the Jews, invades and sacks the Jewish Temple. Installed by Nabucco as Regent of Jerusalem and inspired by her love for the Jew Ismaele, Fenena converts to Judaism and frees the Jewish prisoners. The slave Abigaille, who claims to be Fenena's sister, also loves Ismaele and masterminds a vengeful plot to imprison Nabucco and steal the crown of Jerusalem for herself. In his cell, Nabucco dreams that Fenena is about to be executed, but he escapes in time to free her and also converts to Judaism, as a repentant Abigaille poisons herself.

"Certaines oeuvres jouent un rôle fondamental dans l'histoire d'un auteur et acquièrent une valeur qui va parfois bien au-delà de leur simple qualité musicale. Nabucco est sans aucun doute une de ces oeuvres, d'une part parce qu'elle assura à Verdi son premier vrai succès et d'autre part parce qu'elle marqua un tournant décisif dans l'histoire de l'opéra italien du début du dix-neuvième siècle, donnant naissance à ce filon épique et populaire qui allait peser sur les événements historiques du Risorgimento.
