Lyrical Luncheon III – Nabucco (Giuseppe Verdi)

The Opera Society’s Lyrical Luncheon offers a lovely meal, drinks, socializing and provides you with an opportunity to learn about Verdi’s Opera with arias performed by Florida Grand Opera’s Studio Artists. The opera that launched Verdi to international stardom, Nabucco depicts the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of Jerusalem and the suffering of the Hebrew people in exile. Its soaring chorus, “Va, pensiero,” became a symbol of hope and unity, while Verdi’s magnificent score continues to move audiences around the world with its grandeur and emotional power.
