NABUCCO may be Verdis first masterpiece and not just because of that amazing Chorus of Hebrews which is justly beloved by everyone who hears it Dramatically this opera is tightly constructed with believable characters in an intense conflict over values and beliefs And Verdis music however early in his career however distant from triumphs like LA FORSA DEL DESTINO or AIDA is highly animated revealing inner turmoil and outer passions with beauty and economy The ensembles are especially impressive building to satisfying heights of emotional release for the singers and the audience And Placido Domingo is a wonder to behold and hear Even though his original voice was baritone which he managed to transform into a tenor voice he doesnt SOUND like a baritone to me BUT his performance is so committed so deeply interfused with Verdis music so generously integrated to the younger singers around him that the waters part
