The story of Nabucco and captivity of the Israelites in Babylon transcends time and culture. It has grown into a powerful representation of oppression and people struggling for freedom throughout history. The Verdi opera’s most famous number, the chorus of the Hebrew slaves “Va pensiero,” gave voice to a simmering Italian nationalism and eventually became the unofficial anthem of the Italian independence movement. Presenter Erika Reitshamer is returning to Lincoln Library with a three-week opera course.

On Sunday, Nov. 19 at 3 p.m., members of a group of amateur pianists known as Rhapsody are returning to offer a piano recital in Bemis Hall. On the program will be selections from Bach-Busoni, Beethoven, Brahms, Celentano, Debussy, Nielsen, Schubert, and Tchaikovsky-Pletnev.
The performance is free and open to the public. Rhapsody was formed in 2003 by a few visionary amateur pianists who sought a venue in which to perform for each other, both to grow musically and to share their musical journey with others. Comprising a dozen people from the Boston metropolitan area, members have met nearly every month for 20 years. Now an annual event, this will be their twelfth public performance on the beautifully restored Steinway in Bemis Hall.
