Verdi's Nabucco NCPA China 2013 

J'adore Bravo

Tres beau

Arthur de Silva: I just discovered this 2013 performance on RU-vid and I am totally impressed with the Performance and Production coming from China. Placido Domingo sings the Title Role and Eugene Kohn conducts an ALL CHINESE ensemble of the other Principals, Chorus and Orchestra, sung in perfect Italian. The production is true to the Biblical Period, with beautiful costumes, sets and decor. The Sound Track and Photography are superb. and fortunately with no subtitles to mar the presentation. Obviously a lot of hard work has gone into this performance to present a World Class performance of Verdi's Magnificent Third Opera "Nabucco". Bravissimo Tutti e Mille Gracie.

What a magnificent performance!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Thanks Yoland👍🏻👍🏻

La Cina è attualmente nell'età dell'oro dell'opera. BRAVI TUTTI !

Fabulous! Old Placido is in top form - amazing for his age.. The sets are beautiful too. What a performance!

Bellissima rappresentazione vocale,scenica,costumi meravigliosi opera di artisti Italiani. Ma noi italiani per poter godere della magia dell opera dobbiamo andare in CINA?????????

Ik ken de sopraan niet maar ik luister graag naar haar !

I really love this production. The sets and costumes are amazing. Domingo acts very well. I wonder how many Chinese are interested in Italian opera.

Espectáculo maravilloso. Respetando la obra e idea del compositor. Esto es ópera, no la locura de puestas en escena espantosas que abundan en tantos escenarios.

EXQUISITA ACTUACION FELICIDADES POR COMPARTIRLO YOLAND KWOK

Bravo!!!

Insuperable.

La caballetta della terza parte tagliata quasi interamente aiuta non poco Domingo che sicuramente nel da capo avrebbe avuto non pochi problemi come in tutte le recite di Nabucco da lui sostenute... Non ha la voce per fare il baritono, anche se in compenso sul palcoscenico è unico!!! Comunque nel complesso buona recita!!!

Superb production like one would wish to see in Europe and not the so called revised productions by stage director who should immediately be sent to psychiatrics for a long period of analysis or to asylums! Domingo is amazing at 72 and had stupendously improved his acting among the years. If there is one small critic to be done, is the tempo for the "Va pensiero" which is sung a bit too fast and which begins too loud. It doesn't help the contrast with the fortissimo of the middle section. As usual Frigerio gives us his enormous talent of sets designer as well as his eternal costumes companion Franca Squarciapino superb taste and talent. This is how Verdi's operas should be staged and not the minimalists productions we have to suffer nowadays in Europe. The Paris Opera management should get a staging training in China to stop the stupidities and ugliness we have to suffer at Himalayan prices!

Where can I buy the DVD? National Centre for the Performing Arts bookstore is supposed to sell it, but I can't find it.

Love this production! But, sorry, Domingo still does not have a typical "Bariton Voice"!

1:26:08

The Zaccaria and chorus are quite. Abigaille is a little sloppy and the middle and bottom of her voice is completely covered by the orchestra

Big voice for Abigaille except for chest tones. Diction is a bit labored. But a gorgeous tone!
