Scene No.12 opens the 4th part (4th act) of Verdi's Nabucco. The king has lost his mind and is held prisoner by Abigaille. He hears the name of his daughter, Fenena and realizes that she's being led to her death.  He has a moment of clarity and realizes he has to get out and free Fenena. He kneels and prays to the god of the Jews. He begs God to help him and promises to rebuild the temple and the altar and always worship him. His wish is granted. Nabucco's men appear and he leads them into battle to regain his throne and save Fenena.

his is West Bay Opera's first production ever of Verdi'sNabucco.The story is based on the biblical books of Jeremiah and Daniel as well as on the homonymous play by Auguste Anicet-Bourgeois and Francis Cornu, and especially on Antonio Cortese's ballet adaptation of that play, as seen at the Teatro alla Scala in 1836. Nabucco, originally entitled Nabucodonosor (the full name, in Italian, of the Babylonian king) was the opera that established Verdi as a major opera composer.  The most famous selection from it, "Va pensiero",  the chorus of the Hebrew slaves, yearning for their lost homeland, is often associated with Italian national pride and resistance during the time of Austrian domination of northern Italy. The demanding score is replete with majestic choral sections, major ensembles and very challenging arias and it requires virtuosic singing and orchestral playing. Abigaile, the main soprano role, has some of the most difficult coloratura passagework in the entire operatic repertoire. Guseppina Strepponi, who sang the first Abigaile, became Verdi's second wife. Nabucco (the main baritone role) is also tremendously demanding, vocally and histrionically, even including a mad scene. We present it unabridged and fully staged, set in biblical times in Jerusalem and Babylon, in collaboration with the Assyrian Arts Institute.
