Plainly meets all the GA criteria and is, in my view, in the region of FA standard. A few suggestions you might like to consider (no obligation):
Those are the totality of my suggestions. Nothing to frighten the horses, and once you've adopted or rejected them we can pass on to the tape-cutting ceremony. This review has taken hours longer than I expected because, appetite whetted by your text, I had to break off to listen to numerous recordings of various bits from the operas. Most pleasurable on all counts. – Tim riley talk 17:49, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
Everything I think done now - but:The Nabucco phenomenon -" "It is the only one of Verdi's operas of his "early period" to remain regularly in the international repertoire" – excluding Nabucco, presumably? For the period 25 July 2013 to 25 July 2015 Operabase lists 514 performances of Nabucco to 264 of Macbeth." Very interesting aspect here of changing tastes. The supporting citation is from Chusid in 1997, when Nabucco made only rare appearances. In the period 2011 -2014 its status rose considerably due to 150 years of Italian unification and Verdi bicentenary. But as an opera it's not that great and I should be very surprised if it maintained this recent prominence. Query: how to express this in article? I have attempted a solution which avoids

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
I assume – by God, I hope! – this article is just making a pitstop at GAN on its way to peer review and FAC. Please ping me when at either. It will be a privilege and pleasure to participate. – Tim riley talk 11:53, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
Many thanks. I need to think deeply about peer review/FA but will advise you. Best, -- Smerus ( talk) 12:43, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
