Critical edition by Roger Parker

The critical edition is curated by Roger Parker. Nabucco is the third opera by Giuseppe Verdi: he composed it between 1841 and 1842 after a particularly dire and painful period after the fiasco of Un giorno di regno, the death of his wife Margherita Barezzi and of his two children. Such events brought Verdi far from musical composition up until when the entrepreneur Bartolomeo Merelli proposed the libretto by Temistocle Solera as a new subject, convincing him to write music for a new opera. It is exactly after the premiere of Nabucco at Teatro alla Scala on March 9, 1842 – with his future wife Giuseppina Strepponi in the role of Abigaille – that the career of Verdi was written in the stone.
