Simon Boccanegra
Giuseppe Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra
Verdi’s searing political drama is a classic love triangle set against a backdrop of the intense power struggle among scheming nobles and commoners in 14th century Genoa. The great elder statesman Simon Boccanegra is one the towering figures of 19th century opera, and the touching relationship that is rekindled between him and his long-lost daughter Amelia inspired some of Verdi’s most fervent and dramatic music.
Young voices, traditional stagecraft and passionate music-making combine to offer an enthralling night at the theatre as Opera UK presents two C19th masterpieces of high drama and comic verve in "the grand manner of big-house opera" Evening Standard
