Debuting at the 102nd edition of the Arena Opera Festival is Nabucco, in a completely reconceived version, created and overseen for the direction, sets, and costumes by the visionary Stefano Poda.
The opera becomes a timeless journey from conflict to reconciliation, from pride to hope, between humanism and technology. A title that has always been beloved at the Arena for its intrinsic and spectacular choral nature, in the new production Nabucco has already been defined as “atomic”: great symbolic elements and innovative light designs combine on stage, serving Verdi's drama that narrates a conflict not only between peoples but within each individual.
Nabucco, originally "Nabucodonosor", is an opera that illustrates the condition of slavery of the Jewish People in Babylon. The troubled love is the central theme of the opera: right from the first act, a dual story of love and jealousy develops between the two daughters of the Babylonian king Nabucco, Fenena and Abigaille, and the Jew Ismaele.
In the background lies the contrast between the faith in the one God of the Jews and the pagan deity of Belo. The God of the Jews first strikes Nabucco with a lightning bolt, then inspires the conversions of the king and his daughter Fenena. The opera concludes with the victory of good over evil through the suicide of Abigaille, usurper of the Babylonian throne. Suggestive and moving is the chorus of the Jews who, on the banks of the Euphrates River, invoke the distant homeland to the notes of Va Pensiero.
