Met Opera Summer Encores: Nabucco

Director
Elijah Moshinsky
Certificate
12A
Running Time
154 mins

Verdi’s third, reputation-defining opera gives it some serious choral welly. It’s based on the Biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco), who imprisons and subsequently exiles the Hebrews from their homeland.

Placido Domingo brings the titular baritone role to the Metropolitan Opera under the baton of his regular collaborator James Levine. It’s back on screen in the Met’s Summer Encore season.
