Accentuating the conflict-ridden king’s loss of power as the work’s core, renowned director Gu¨nter Krämer’s Vienna State Opera, 2001 “Nabucco” becomes the tragedy of a mighty ruler. Concentrating on fine imagery and profundity, he turns the focus onto the characters by having them perform on a nearly empty stage. Baritone Leo Nucci (“fascinating timbre”; “intense and plausible acting”) as Nabucco, is well known at all the world’s great opera houses of the world; Maria Guleghina (“Russian soprano with Verdi flowing through her veins”) as Abigaille, a celebrated and acclaimed soprano.
