VERDI’S NABUCCO

Juan Pons stars in Nabucco, live from the Teatro Antico, Taormina, Italy. This four-act opera was Verdi’s third and the work that permanently established his reputation as a composer. Since its construction in the 7th century B.C., the Teatro Antico’s audiences have watched performances with Mt. Etna and the Ionia Sea as a stunning backdrop for the theatre’s arena stage.  The theatre (also called the Greek Theatre) is home to the annual summer Taormina Arte festival.
