Nabucco - Verdi


Porthos seemed to be begging for some culture, some art, or classical music. Well, here you go...and see how beautifully it connects back to the Mass.

The first reading this morning 3/20 is from Ezekiel (47:1-9,12) as he tells of a hopeful vision for a people in exile. Father Gregg, in his homily, relates the story behind the opera, Nabucco by Verdi. Link here.

Sit back and enjoy. Click here for the synopsis of the opera.

Loved it!

I don't know opera very much, and Verdi very little, and this opera not at all. I used to play in the orchestra of local opera productions, but I think I only know the operas I played in.

I wasn't going to say anything about the hair, but now that Ath has mentioned it . . .
