Arena di Verona 2025: Nabucco

Synopsis

Verdi's "Nabucco", known for its strong choral parts and dramatic plot, is a highlight of the 2025 Arena di Verona Opera Festival. The spectacular new production is created by Stefano Poda, who is also behind the set, choreography, costumes and design. In his interpretation of the opera, Poda removes the conflict between the Babylonians and Israelites from its historical context. For him, the hostile peoples stand for all the peoples of yesterday, today and perhaps tomorrow, who hope for reunification and peace in the end. Anna Netrebko plays Abigaille, Nabucco's daughter – one of the most demanding roles in Verdi's repertoire. The opera was premiered in Milan in 1842 and was the composer's first major success.
