Plácido Domingo, one of the most celebrated talents of our time, makes a major debut in the title role of Nabucco from the Royal Opera House. 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.

The plot of Nabucco 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 his 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.
Tickets: $12
