When the megalomaniac king Nabucco falls into mental derangement and his power-obsessed daughter Abigail grabs the crown, the inexorable fate of the Hebrews seems sealed. Nothing remains for them but hope: “Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate”. The famous prisoners’ choir made Giuseppe Verdi a star overnight. This poignant chorus crowns a stirring story of hope, delusion, retribution and unshakable faith of biblical proportions.
