NABUCCO-EP001-NABUCCO DE GIUSEPPE VERDI GTG OSR

In this production Christiane Jatahy concentrates on the collective rather than individual destinies and romantic intrigues. By placing the choirs in an area significantly larger than the stage itself, she subtly transposes the Assyrian oppression of the Hebrew people into something universal and contemporary.
