This year the Italian Consulate of Philadelphia celebrates the 200th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi's birth.

On its surface, Nabucco is about the epic struggle of Zaccaria and the Jews suppressed by Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar and his vengeful daughter, Abigaille. But to Italians fighting for their freedom from Austria, Verdi’s first great opera was an inspiring call to arms.

This production celebrates the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth. There are 5 dates for this performance: September 27, 29, October 2, 4, and 6.
