Nabucco in English. Much better than Otello in English so far, up there with their Macbeth. The English diction isn't perfect but I'm understanding enough of it to make it worth the listen. Nabucco is one of the Verdi operas I plan on learning in depth in the next year. (along with the aforementioned Macbeth, and perhaps Giovanna D'arco).
My goal is to eventually learn all of Verdi's operas inside out!
