A gripping story of political intrigue and personal tragedy.
Taking centre stage alongside a top-flight international cast, the Orchestra and Chorus of Opera North are at the heart of the musical spectacle in this live concert staging of Verdi’s operatic thriller.
In 14th-century Genoa, former pirate and man of the people, Simon Boccanegra, is elected head of the republic. It’s the start of a decades-long rivalry with nobleman Jacopo Fiesco. Power struggles and revenge plots unfold, but underneath it all, the two are bound together by the strongest of family ties. Is reconciliation within reach before it’s too late?
What to expect from a concert staging: see the orchestra and singers together on stage, and thrillingly close. The drama still packs a punch, and you’ll see characters in costume within the set.
