The Metropolitan Opera: Nabucco (2024)
The success of Verdi’s third opera, a stirring drama about the fall of ancient Jerusalem at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco), catapulted the 28-year-old composer to international fame. The music and Verdi himself were subsumed into a surge of patriotic fervor culminating in the foundation of the modern nation of Italy. Specifically, the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves ('Va, pensiero'), in which the Israelites express their longing for their homeland, came to stand for the country’s aspirations for unity and that exciting era in Italian history, the Risorgimento, or 'Resurgence'.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
