🎼9 March 1842. Giuseppe Verdi premières his Nabucco at Teatro La Scala in Milan.
🎼9 March 1844. Exactly 2 years later Verdi premières his Ernani at Teatro La Fenice in Venice.
These 2 are the most famous early works by #GiuseppeVerdi and establish him as the unrivaled Maestro of Italian Opera: worldwide known and appreciated for operas such as Nabucco, Macbeth, Rigoletto, Trovatore, Traviata, Don Carlos, Aida, Otello, Falstaff and for his sacred compositions, Verdi is still today sublimated by the numerous "Arias" and "Chorals" extracted from his operas and often perfomed all over the world.
Here I post a stunning performance 💓 at La Fenice in Venice of "Va, Pensiero, sull'Ali Dorate" from Nabucco, for sure one of the most representative songs for #Italy ever! Some say it should have become Italy's real national anthem.

I'm pretty sure few know or remember this 2 mt. tall guy in the video, as I'm 100% sure everyone heard and remembers his year 2000 hit single, "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)", inspired by 1980s Italodisco.
The song reached number one almost everywhere selling millions, plus it was the first song ever played on an iPod ! 😳
Venice Rocks, even with House Music from the #Lido 😉🤟
