Not the best recording but very interesting cast. You will like it!
Nabucco short for Nabucodonosor or "Nebuchadnezzar") is an Italian-language opera in four acts composed in 1841 by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Temistocle Solera. The libretto is based on biblical books of Jeremiah and Daniel and the 1836 play by Auguste Anicet-Bourgeois and Francis Cornu, although Antonio Cortese's ballet adaptation of the play (with its necessary simplifications), given at La Scala in 1836, was a more important source for Solera than the play itself.[1] Under its original name of Nabucodonosor, the opera was first performed at La Scala in Milan on 9 March 1842.
Nabucco is the opera which is considered to have permanently established Verdi's reputation as a composer. He commented that "this is the opera with which my artistic career really begins. And though I had many difficulties to fight against, it is certain that Nabucco was born under a lucky star".[2]
It follows the plight of the Jews as they are assaulted, conquered and subsequently exiled from their homeland by the Babylonian King Nabucco (in English, Nebuchadnezzar II). The historical events are used as background for a romantic and political plot. The best-known number from the opera is the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves", "Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate" / "Fly, thought, on golden wings", a chorus which is regularly given an encore in many opera houses when performed today.

Deutekom, Giaiotti, Nimsgern are very great! I love Deutekom's voice and squillo!💓🙏🙏🙏 Electrifying production!

One of the best Nabucco performances in the history of the 20th century and is in the same "row" with Bechi Callas and Gobbi Souliotis. But first of all, this is Giaiotti's performance.

Giaiotti is the real star here.

[@nunziotodisco2221]

gentile signor peter van neijhof, come mai nel cast da lei annunciato ha dimenticato di aggiungere il signor Bonaldo Giaiotti ed il Signor Nunzio Todisco? Una sua gentile rettifica. sarebbe veramente gradita anche a nome del caro collega Bonaldo Giaiotti. La ringrazio anticipatamente ....

Nimsgern as Nabucco is very interesting indeed. Is there a baritone part this guy didn't sing? He's pretty good here too, as is everybody else in the cast (especially Zaccaria). The production and the camera work are somewhat underwhelming, but the singing and the conducting are superb throughout. Thanks for sharing this rarity. Next to impossible to hear something like that live today.

Bumbry is a pale shadow in this role when compared with this!

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

Bumbry is great.

It's a crime to omit the opening chorus

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

Muti obviously didn’t think so.

[@mirjamdevries9376]

It is a cut version.
