Arena di Verona 2026 Review: Nabucco

https://operawire.com/arena-di-verona-2026-review-nabucco/

(Photo: Arena di Verona) There are few operas more congenial to the Arena di Verona than Verdi’s “Nabucco.” Its massed choruses, martial confrontations, religious fervor and rhetoric of tyranny and liberation seem almost purpose-built for the world’s most imposing open-air amphitheater.

True, Zeffirelli had positively buried Verdi’s opera beneath gold. Yet, {…}
