Lyric tragedy in four parts with music by Giuseppe Verdi and libretto by Italian Temistocle Solera, based on the Old Testament and the work Nabuchodonosor of Francis Comue and Anicète Bourgeois. It premiered in 1842 at La Scala in Milan.
It is a choral work of biblical proportions in which the chorus is sung by Jewish prisoners, held on the banks of the Euphrates, remember with nostalgia the distant homeland and express their desire to return. It is projected live from La Scala in Milan.
