The Metropolitan Opera held the first revival of Australian opera director Elijah Moshinsky's 2000-2001 new staging of Giuseppe Verdi's Nabucco in the 2002-2003 season, one season after its debut.

Samuel Ramey appeared in the first revival's first five performances for his first reprisal of Zaccaria, High Priest of the Jews.
