Nabucodonosor

Nabucodonosor, a dramma lirico in four parts, is one of Giuseppe Verdi's most celebrated early operas. With a libretto by Temistocle Solera, the opera recounts the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, and his conquest of Jerusalem. The opera is particularly noted for its powerful choral passages and dramatic intensity. "Va, pensiero," the chorus of the Hebrew slaves, became an anthem of Italian unification.

This edition preserves the original Italian libretto, offering audiences and scholars a direct connection to Verdi's masterpiece. Experience the passion and grandeur of Nabucodonosor, a cornerstone of the operatic repertoire, in its original form.
