Program Notes
The Overture to Verdi's popular opera Nabucco
Verdis third opera, Nabucco, was performed for the first time March 9, 1842. For Verdi, it meant his breakthrough as an opera composer. It was a great success, especially the choir 'Va, pensiero' is still one of the most well-known classical melodies world wide. This melody is also part of the overture, an often programmed piece in classical repertoire. The overture starts with a four-voice trombone and tuba choir, followed by a dramatic outburst of the entire orchestra. The theme that follows is mysterious and agited. After the andantino passage which features 'Va, pensiero', the overture spins into a festive and exciting finale, with fireworks at the end. This piece has been a public favourite for almost two centuries.
