nabucco

The opera Nabucco, is a 4-part opera, which was Giuseppe Verdis breakthrough. It was originally named Nabucodonosor after the play by Anicet-Bourgeois and Francis Cornue. Upon reading the libretto about the ancient Jews' exile from their homeland, Verdi was impassioned by his own nationalism. The plight of the Jews served as a symbol for his yearning for Italy to be freed from oppression and united. After the success of the opera, Verdi's works became a symbol of Italian independence. Nabucco premiered 1842 at La Scala theatre, with Giuseppina Strepponi, soprano, in the part of Abigaille. The singer became his mistress for ten years and, long after the death of his first wife, Verdi would marry her.
