I am a retired opera Chorister and,am passionately fond of Verdi,particulary Nabucco. Have many copies of this opera,from La Scala ,Royal Opera,The Met,Holland Park,several Eastern European companies down to British amateur.
I purchased this copy because of Paata Burchuladze and,I cannot find a single thing to say in it's favor.The production is very amateur,the chorus are unbelievably bad and,none of them have any stage presence.
I feel so sad that Burchuladze had to appear in this abysmal production...........My advice to all is steer clear of this abomination!

The Worst! Not Just the Look, the Sound Too!
7 Feb 2007
Actually, I think, the sound bothers me more. I just could not think of how any singer would sing like that. I am referring to Gruber. She sounded like something from another planet. The setting, the costumes, the look (those gold/silver paint on her face), and the acting were so ridiculous. But, I can give it as the director's concept. Was the singing also the director's idea? What a bad idea it was. I own this DVD sometime ago. I brought it without reading the reviews. What a big mistake I made. I really struggle to watch it to the end. Then I throw it into the trash. It was so bad. I give it a one star here, which is the lowest score I am allowed to give. Actually I mean Minus One.

A waste of money.
2 Feb 2006
This is an ugly production. Abigail and Nabucco faces are painted with a silvery paint and they look like monsters. Most of the singing is not distinguished (the tenor is especially bad). The orchestra sounds like a military band.
Definitely not recommended.

Very disappointing
29 Jan 2006
I have bought this recording because of Ambrogio Maestri, whom I know from the TDK's Falstaff. But except for him, as well as the stage and the costumes, this Nabucco is unlistenable. Abigail is just terrible, Zaccaria is very tremulous. When you listen to it, you feel as if he had a lump in his throat. Ismaele's high notes are forced, sung with difficulties and Maestri himself is a bit heavy-footed on the stage. Fenena cannot act. Buy a different Nabucco if you can.
