True, that. But then, Verdi was only getting started in his murderous opera career with Nabucco, wasn't he? :)

re: AIDA, having seen it a) in Verona, and b) in Egypt, in front of Hatshepsut's temple at Deir-el-Bahri, I must say I've had the ultimate big production experiences. Also, it has one of Verdi's best soprano-bariton/daughter-father combinations, imo, and I love the recording with young Maria Callas as Aida.
