Simon Boccanegra

From Grange Park Opera's website:

"Who knew that the political shenanigans of 15th-century Genoa could be so gripping?

The plebeians plan to overthrow the aristos; a former pirate becomes Doge; a little girl disappears; poison is poured into a glass of drinking water.

Verdi first wrote this score in middle age. Returning to it decades later, he transformed a complex drama into this masterpiece, where dark personal histories clash with affairs of state.

Simon Keenlyside stars as the tortured, conflicted Doge, trying to do the right thing."
