It was a magical moment in the opera ... I think many people already know this amazing story that could happen only in a free country. But read and listen again, its perfect! Nabucco - the most beautiful opera by Verdi, what in Possii not speak and do not perform this opera! Why? Because this opera about the captive Jews celebrate the chorus of Jewish slaves, and in After they are freed from slavery! In March of last year marked the 150th anniversary of Italy. On this occasion, Riccardo Muti conducted in Rome opera Nabucco by Verdi. In this opera is important, not only music, but also a political aspect: it tells about slavery of the Jews in Babylon. B Italy Chorus of Jewish prisoners is a symbol of peoples desire for freedom, even from the time when Italy was under the occupation of Habsburg (Austria), where opera was written. Berlusconi attended the performance. The mayor of Rome, went on stage and gave a speech in which he referred to the reduction of the budget for culture by the decision of the government. Mutti says: - The crowd was delighted and applauded before the start of the opera. All went well until we got to the chorus of slaves (Va pensiero). I felt the tension in the air. There are things that can not be described, only felt, was quiet in the room .... you could feel the solidarity of the public crying captive Jews: Oh my homeland, so beautiful and lost. When the choir finished, I heard cries of encore. And the crowd began to shout: Viva Italia Viva Verdi! (Long live Italy! Long live Verdi!) and throw the note patriotic. Although Mutti does Encores in the middle of the opera, because opera should be performed sequentially from the beginning to the end, he simply could not play on the bis, but did it with a special intention. When the applause died down, he turned to Berlusconi and the audience: Im Italian, but many tours around the world, and today I am ashamed of what is happening in my country, so I accepted your request to repeat the Va pensiero, not only because of the patriotic content, but because today, when I sang these words: Oh, my homeland, the beautiful and the lost, I thought that if we continue this way, we eradicate a culture based on the history of Italy, and our country is really really lovely and the lost (applause from the audience and performers) We are here in an Italian atmosphere ... and I, Mutti, was silent for many years. Now I want to give meaning to this song. We are at home, the Roman theater and choir who sang beautifully, and the orchestra that accompanied absolutely wonderful. I invite you to join, and we will sing all together. The audience stood up at the same time with the choir. It was a magical moment in the opera. The night was not just a performance of the opera Nabucco, but a statement on the theater of the Italian capital to attract the attention of politicians. Watch this exciting video: youtube/embed/G_gmtO6JnRs was still repeating the encore, but it was worth it! Awesome! You have to be absolutely hopeless heartless person or an anti-Semite, not to shed a tear of happiness intimacy sympathy and support of the Romans !!! And their consciousness that they too may be strangers in their own country.
