Its first performance took place on 9 March 1842 at the Teatro alla Scala, Milan under the original name. The definitive name for the opera and the protagonist were attributed at a performance at the San Giacomo Theatre of Corfu, in September, 1844.

About the Artist
Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (pronounced [d?u'z?p?e 'verdi] in Italian; October 9 or 10, 1813 January 27, 1901) was an Italian Romantic composer, mainly of opera. He was one of the most influential composers in the 19th century. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture - such as "La donna mobile" from Rigoletto, "Va, pensiero" (The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Nabucco, and "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (The Drinking Song) from La traviata. Although his work was sometimes criticized for using a generally diatonic rather than a chromatic musical idiom and having a tendency toward melodrama, Verdis masterworks dominate the standard repertoire a century and a half after their composition. Nabucco (short for Nabucodonosor, English Nebuchadnezzar) is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Temistocle Solera, based on the biblical story and the play by Anicet-Bourgeois and Francis Cornu. It is Verdis third opera and the one which is considered to have permanently established his.
