Ludovic Tézier & Marina Rebeka Lead Teatro San Carlo’s ‘Nabucco’
By Francisco SalazarThe Teatro San Carlo is set to present Verdi’s “Nabucco” in a production by Andreas Homoki.
The production will be shown from Jan. 18 to 31, 2026 and will be conducted by Riccardo Frizza.
Ludovic Tézier will take on the title role alongside Marina Rebeka as Abigaille. They will be joined by Piero Pretti as Ismaele and Michele Pertusi as Zaccaria.
In a statement Frizza, “‘Nabucco,’ with its genesis romanticized by Verdi himself, its success on stage ever since its very first performance and its becoming, following the Unity of Italy, opera of the Risorgimento, has been fortunate for several often contradictory reasons. Pure Verdi from the outset, it also carries historical veracity, with its historiographic reconstructions that have fired the minds of the finest academics. I conducted it for the first time at the Opera Carlo Felice in Genoa, far back in 2004, and returned to it in 2015 for the inauguration of the Arena Opera Festival. Now I’m preparing to conduct this work again at the Teatro di San Carlo, Naples, trusting – as decade follows decade, in a process of natural maturation and of familiarity with Verdi born of love – that I will offer it to the audience it as I see it: one of the last and most shining examples of Belcanto style.”
