Nabucco - E l'assiria una regina (The Royal Opera)
Singer(s): Liudmyla Monastyrska Alexander VinogradovThe Royal Opera perform E l'assiria una regina in Daniele Abbado's powerful staging of Nabucco. Verdi's epic opera is available to stream via our website until 19 February. Watch here:
Starring award-winning baritone Amartuvshin Enkhbat as Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), Liudmyla Monastyrska as Abigaille, and world-renowned bass Alexander Vinogradov as Zaccaria, the tragic tale of one desperate father unfolds against an epic biblical backdrop.
The tragic story of a desperate father’s descent into madness, his two daughters torn apart by their love for the same man, is set against the epic biblical backdrop of the Israelites’ exile from their homeland in Verdi’s early masterpiece.
The opera was an instant success at its 1842 premiere, with the famed Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (‘Va, pensiero’) taking on an anthemic political resonance that lasts to this day.

SCENA IOrti pensili. Abigaille è sul trono. I Magi, i Grandi sono assisi ai di lei piedi; vicino all'ara ove sorge la statua d'oro di Belo sta coi seguaci il Gran Sacerdote.
Donne babilonesi, Popolo e Soldati
DONNE BABILONESI, POPOLO e SOLDATI
È l'Assiria una regina,
pari a Bel potente in terra;
porta ovunque la ruina
se stranier la chiama in guerra:
or di pace fra i contenti,
degno premio del valor,
scorrerà suoi dì ridenti
nella gioia e nell'amor.
GRAN SACERDOTE
Eccelsa donna, che d'Assiria il fato
reggi, le preci ascolta
de' fidi tuoi! Di Giuda gli empi figli
perano tutti, e pria colei che suora
a te nomar non oso …
Essa Belo tradì …
Presenta la sentenza ad Abigaille
ABIGAILLE
con finzione
Che mi chiedete! …

Babylonian women, people and soldiers
BABYLONIAN, PEOPLE and SOLDIERS WOMEN
It is Assyria a queen,
equal to Bel powerful in earth;
leads everywhere ruina
if stranger calls her to war:
or of peace among the contented,
worthy valor prize,
it will flow its laughing days
in joy and in love.
GRAND PRIEST
Eccelsa woman, that of Assyria the fate
wards, the listeners listen
of your trust! The wicked sons of Judah
they all perish, and first as a nun
to you nomar I do not dare ...
It Belo betrayed ...
