admin_access — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 08:56:46 +0000

A powerful testament to love, national pride, and unceasing longing for the homeland, Nabucco returns in a grand production of the famous biblical drama about Nebuchadnezzar, the destruction of the First Temple, and the Babylonian exile. The “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves,” sung by the Babylonian exiles — held in captivity, facing execution, and hoping for a miracle — resonates more deeply than ever. In these challenging times, Verdi’s “Jewish Opera” offers both comfort and hope for a better future.
Co-produced with the Minas Gerais Opera House, Brazil
