Nabucco by Maestro Verdi

Nabucco probably was the first Verdi's popular opera and one to secure his success... unfortunately yesterdays performance at Copenhagen Operaen was below expectations.

Verdi's dramatic music combined with a biblical, complex and even not conceivable story about megalomaniac king, hasn't been "elevated" with the singers performance.


The setting, scenography and chorus which was well synchronized and dramatic, were fantastic; Nabucco (John Lundgren) lived up to the expectations, everything else was kind of wrong and strange, especially Fenena (Matilda Paulsson).

Look forward to Lulu.
