some operas I have seen on videoGiuseppe Verdi, Nabucco (1842)
libretto by Temistocle Solera
Opernhaus Zürich, 2019
- Conductor: Fabio Luisi
- Director: Andreas Homoki
- Set & Costume Designer: Wolfgang Gussmann
- Nabucco: Michael Volle
- Abigaille: Anna Smirnova
- Ismaele: Benjamin Bernheim
- Fenena: Veronica Simeoni
A bare stage and whatever-we-got-in-the-shop costume design are questionable choices, but the staging is expressive and the singing is superb.
