Nabucco (Verona)
Anna Netrebko plays Abigaille in Verdi’s Nabucco, one of opera’s most demanding roles, in a spectacular new production set in Verona’s ancient amphitheatre. With futuristic set design and striking special effects, this modern staging transforms Verdi’s much-loved choral drama into a powerful and immersive experience.
