Va’ Pensiero The Heartbreaking Chorus from Nabucco by Giuseppe Verdi

THE CHORUS THAT BECAME ITALY'S SOUL. More than music, it's a prayer, a protest, and a national anthem. This is the heart of Verdi's Nabucco. This video is dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi's 'Va, pensiero' (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves), the immensely powerful and universally loved piece from his early opera, Nabucco (Act III) directed by Maestro Myung-Whun Chung.

Often cited as one of the most emotional and enduring choral works in classical music, 'Va, pensiero' is a poetic lament where the Hebrew exiles yearn for their lost homeland. We explore the profound reasons this chorus transcended the opera house to become a symbolic anthem for Italian national identity and the Risorgimento. Discover how Verdi's simple, flowing melody and dramatic choral writing evoked the desire for a unified Italy, leading to legendary performances at the Teatro alla Scala and beyond. We delve into the enduring appeal of this piece, featuring interpretations by artists ranging from opera legends like Luciano Pavarotti to crossover stars like Zucchero. This is essential viewing for anyone who loves Italian opera, choral music, or wants to understand the historical impact of Giuseppe Verdi's genius.
