Lecture: Revenge and Religion in Verdi’s Nabucco
In Verdi’s Nabucco, malevolence and jealous revenge find retribution in the character Abigaille-falsely thought daughter of Babylonian King Nabucco-and her relationship with Nabucco. This delays the opera’s upswing to positively exhibit King Nabucco’s solace of the Israelites and their beliefs. Join Jane Marsh in a virtual lecture as she validates the history of this biblical story that was the turning point in Verdi’s career. The live webinar will take place on Wednesday, June 9 at 2:00-3:30PM EDT. Registered participants wil have access to a recording of the webinar for 72 hours.
