Nabucco <Italian> (1842) is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi (mus.) and Temistocle Solera (libr.). Based on Nabuchodonosor (Nebuchadnezzar / 1836 Anicet-Bourgeois, Cornu), play.

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.
