The Rehoboth Beach Film Society and the Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation are proud to present The Metropolitan Opera’s live broadcast of Giuseppe Verdi’s stirring opera, NABUCCO.

The Live in HD season continues as famed Met Music Director James Levine conducts Verdi’s rousing drama of ancient Babylon, NABUCCO, with the legendary Plácido Domingo adding a new role to his repertory as the title character.  Liudmyla Monastyrska sings the tour-de-force role of Abigaille, the warrior woman determined to rule empires, and Jamie Barton as the heroic Fenena. Russell Thomas sings Ismaele, and Dmitry Belosselskiy shines as the thunderous voice of the oppressed Hebrew people. There will be one intermission. [2017, Sung in Italian with English subtitles, Runtime: 2 hours 44 minutes]
