Nabucco

This venue is a jewel that must be seen to be believed. It is gorgeous, and the performance was no less satisfying. Without exception, the singers were excellent and did a good job on a difficult piece, particularly the soprano who sang Abigaille. The orchestra was a good partner for the singers, and the sound in general was overwhelmingly good and clear, very exciting. It is a confusing piece, at best, and unfortunately the direction did not make the plot any more clear or easy to understand, having updated events to about the 1930s and placed them in a framework of a museum, which seemed somewhat unnecessary and mysterious. But all on all, it was a glorious evening.

Wonderful performance in an amazing city and spectacular venue; Prague State Opera.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé cet opéra. C’était prodigieux. Un moment fort d'émotion renforcé par la date du 11 septembre et les costumes 1930 qui font de "Nabucco" un hymne contre la barbarie.

The interpretation of the opera was especially poignant, setting it in pre WW2 Europe with the invasion of the Nazis, as I attended the first night of Rosh Hashanah. The stark stylization lended itself to the theme. The performance was enhanced by the wonderful theater with superb acoustics.

The main artists from the opeta are the middle range. We expected more from the Stat Opera! The orchestra is one on the best we heard so far,until now.

Très bonne expérience

C'était notre premier opéra, l'orchestre était excellent, les nombreux chanteurs étaient très impressionnants.

I loved the performance. The orchestra was outstanding and the production was beautiful. I chose my seat online and it was not ideal. Some indication that it was restricted view would have been helpful. However, the evening was much enjoyed.

Dramatic, creative, superbly executed performance in a beautiful and historic venue. Our first opera and certainly a must see venue in Prague. The orchestra were world class and the lead roles captivating.

This is only my second opera so it was a little difficult to follow the story, especially without being able to fully see the subtitles. However, it was a beautiful performance!

Quick and efficient service and a thoroughly enjoyable performance. Thank you.

Nous sommes des habitués avons vécu des expériences à la Scala, Fenice, ect.. et maintenant Prague ou le spectacle fut de grande qualité et le lieux magique Merci Beaucoup

A very fine performance and interesting take on Nabucco. Orchestra very high quality and chorus was particularly outstanding, but then Verdi gave them a lot of great material.

Excelente interpretación en un excelente entorno

My wife and I loved the opera, Nabucco, here at the Prague State Opera on 24 April, 2024. The singers and the chorus were tremendous. My reason for not giving a 5 rating has everything to do with the confusion caused by the settings, and the extraneous and superfluous characters that were worked into all the scenes. Verdi wrote Nabucco to be set about 500 BC in Babylon and Jerusalem. The first act starts in a museum somewhere in Europe? in the 1950s. There are two bellhops walking around the stage, later we see two young girls, I assume they represent Abigaille and Fenena as children. Then later we are introduced to five flying monkeys. I was thinking the opera should be retitled "Nabucco meets the Wizard of Oz" I was searching for a program in the hope that I would see some hidden meaning the additions. At the end of Act III, the chorus took a time machine and found themselves back in Babylon, circa 500 BC, to sing Va Pensiero.

Well organized event, outstanding performance

Ravi de ce moment très agréable dans un cadre magnifique ! Bel opéra et prestation artistique formidable.

Music and singing was excellent. We felt that the staging was a little strange and quite austere. We are not opera buffs though!

Très belle interprétation et mise en scène. Nous avons été transportés d'émotions......

Absolute stunning performance. Thinking about seeing it a second time.
