Nabucco <Italian> (1842) is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi (mus.) and Temistocle Solera (libr.).
Abstract
"Dramma lirico in quattro parti." The Italian opera included the Hebrews’ chorus Va’, pensiero, sull’ali dorate (“Fly, thought, on golden wings”), which became a patriotic song of the Italian Risorgimento. As a nation fighting for independence from foreign rule, the Italians identified themselves with the oppressed Jews in Babylon.
