The Doge Boccanegra tells his longtime nemesis Fiesco that Simon's daughter Amelia is his grand-daughter. They reconcile. Fiesco sadly tells him about the lethal poison running in his veins and mourns Boccanegra's fate. Simon Boccanegra - Lawrence Tibbett Jacopo Fiesco - Ezio Pinza I have many historic broadcast recordings, but this one from 1939 is probably my favorite. It combines a stellar cast and the energy of the drama is present from beginning to end. Simon Boccanegra...

Sir Georg Solti, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and others talk about Verdi´s opera - Simon Boccanegra -- you can also see some highlight performances of this 1991 Covent Garden production. Personally I prefer the MET production, I think the characters are much more colourful and alive, especially when you've got Domingo and Te Kanawa as a couple; they have chemistry which, in my opinion, doesn't happen in this Covent Garden production with Kiri Te Kanawa and Michael Sylvester...

The relationship between a father and daughter, a recurring theme in so many of Verdi's operas, is the emotional centerpiece of this highly regarded but infrequently performed work. Dmitri Hvorostovsky expertly embodies the title role, a noble Italian politician who is forced to deal with treachery and rebellion. The Houston Chronicle praised the Russian baritone's Simon Boccanegra...

Verdi's Simon Boccanegra is a tale of plots, rebellion, betrayal, assassination and passion. In the class-driven battle for the control of 14th-century Genoa, the embattled Doge of the city also faces the consequences of his past as they lead -- through an estranged daughter, her competing suitors and a life-long enemy -- to his own death. Presented here by The Royal Opera in the version of 1881 and in a revision of Ian Judge's production from 1997 (whose Council Chamber setting will be seen at the Royal Opera House for the first time), Lucio Gallo takes on the demanding and impressive title role. With Gabriele Adorno (Marcus Haddock), Amelia's lover, caught in the machinations of the villainous Paolo (Marco Vratogna) and the vengeful Fiesco (Orlin Anastassov), it makes for a potent combination of family drama and political intrigue, set to a rich Verdi score of melody and atmosphere.
