In the midst of a season teeming with operatic splendor, Trieste welcomes back one of the brightest stars of recent European productions: Nabucco. This iconic Verdi masterpiece, celebrated for catapulting the young composer to fame, returns under the baton of maestro Daniel Oren and the visionary direction of Giancarlo Del Monaco, whose revival premiered to acclaim in Zagreb in ’22.
Renowned for its fervent embrace of the Risorgimento spirit, Del Monaco’s rendition infuses the stage with patriotic fervor, transporting audiences to the heart of Verdi’s revolutionary era. Supported by a stellar vocal cast, featuring the likes of Roman Burdenko and Youngjun Park in the title roles, alongside Maria Josè Siri and Olga Maslova as the formidable Abigaille, Nabucco promises a performance of unparalleled grandeur.
Broadcast nationally by RadioRai3, this production underscores Trieste’s commitment to fostering cultural exchange, further fortified by its longstanding collaboration with Slovenia in the realm of ballet. Amidst the opulent sets inspired by Babylonian motifs tinged with Art Deco aesthetics, audiences can anticipate an unforgettable theatrical experience that transcends borders.
In the words of Artistic Director Paolo Rodda, the assembly of this “dream cast” in collaboration with Oren reflects a dedication to excellence, prioritizing vocal prowess over mere star power. Supt. Giuliano Polo echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the production’s dual homage to tradition and innovation, a testament to Trieste’s enduring musical legacy and its pivotal role in the city’s cultural resurgence.
Mark your calendars for a series of performances starting March 22nd through March 30th, as the Civic Wind Orchestra “G. Verdi” – City of Trieste adds a nostalgic touch, evoking the ambiance of 19th-century Milanese grandeur. This is an event not to be missed, a testament to the enduring power of opera to captivate and inspire audiences across generations.
