Given that Verdi's Nabucco has only come to Lyric three times now, this show is worth recommending for the cast alone, which is all encapsulated beautifully in Carlo Rizzi's perfectly energetic Italian direction. It's still a stunner of a show, sure to conquer hearts even with flaws. Recommended. (read Clint May's entire review...)
