Thought @John_Relyea a total star in last night's @TheRoyalOpera #ROHnabucco. His voice shook the world beneath Zaccaria's feet: THRILLING!

Ambiguous production doesn't help to understand who's who. Monastyrska's powerful Abigaille & @ROHchorus are highlights of #ROHnabucco

Bravi to @ROHchorus for a moving 'Va pensiero' on opening night of #ROHnabucco & the excellent John Relyea. Great to see @PlacidoDomingo too

I didn't make it to the end of #ROHnabucco last night. @PlacidoDomingo was superb but it wasn't my thing. I'm learning my opera limits.

Not really impressed in characters clothing.. and the rifles, really? Zaccaria was carrying a gun at some point!#ROHnabucco

Monastyrska rocked #ROHAbigaille! Shame about #rohNabucco. And the worst production. ever.

A performance of quiet dignity and extreme pathos from Domingo in last night's Nabucco @RoyalOperaHouse
— Andrew Broadley (@andrewbroadley) June 7, 2016
Anyway, Nabucco @RoyalOperaHouse was terrific. Fantastic singing. Plácido Domingo on great form.
