ABOUT
Plácido Domingo, one of the most celebrated talents of our time, is making a major role debut. This is a
rare chance to see a genre-defining masterwork, containing some of the greatest choral music ever
written, along with some wonderful arias and ensembles. This new production of Nabucco is unmissable.
Domingo takes another thrilling step into the baritone repertory following his triumphs as Simon
Boccanegra, as he sings the title role of Nabucco for the first time. He is joined by an exciting young cast
including Ukranian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska as the power-hungry priestess Abigaille. Acclaimed
theatre and opera director Daniele Abbado makes his Royal Opera debut directing this coproduction with
La Scala, Milan.
The plot is based on the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco), and focuses on his
imprisonment of the Hebrews, his struggle against his unscrupulous daughter, Abigaille, his divine
punishment and final salvation. Verdi’s rich score offers melody, power and raw drama on a scale that does full justice to the opera’s epic themes of nationhood, faith, love and redemption and calls upon the
full might of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and Royal Opera Chorus.
